Broccoli Cheese Soup
Winter has finally hit us and this Broccoli Cheese Soup hits the spot! It’s delicious, so incredibly rich and ultra filling! Perfect for a cold winters night!
What you’ll need:
2 Tbsp butter or margarine (or olive oil)
1/2 onion, chopped
1 (16 oz) bag frozen chopped broccoli
2 (14.5 oz) cans low sodium chicken broth (1/2 cup reserved)
1 lb Velveeta, cut into cubes
1 cup half and half (you can also use milk)
2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup cornstarch
In a large stock pot, saute onion in butter or margarine until just translucent. Add in broccoli and chicken stock and allow to simmer for 8-10 minutes. Meanwhile, take 1/2 cup broth and mix in the cornstarch to make a slurry. Set aside. When broccoli is cooked, add in Velveeta and stir to melt. Once melted, stir in half and half, garlic powder and cornstarch slurry. Bring just to a boil while stirring constantly to thicken. Remove from heat and serve. Enjoy!
I wanted to make this in the crock pot somehow but from searching out crock pot recipes for this soup, it needs to be babysat which defeats the purpose of the crock pot. Just make it on the stove top. It only takes 20 minutes at most.
PS…I have no idea why the video is distorted like it is. Don’t want to redo it so we’re just going to live with the squished version. Sorry bout that!

@jcrefasi1 Never …
@jcrefasi1 Never used a different cheese but no reason that you can’t. The garlic cheese sounds yummy though!! You can also use an 12oz package of cheddar too if Velveeta is too pricey.

@mastrama13 Half cream, half milk. They sell it here in the same coolers as the milk and cream. You can make it yourself too using 1/2 heavy cream and 1/2 milk. We’re a lazy bunch so we need it premade for us, LOL!!

@MrEskkaY My favoritest wings ever are from a restaurant called Green Mill. Jim Beam wings. Absolutely amazing but have never looked for a recipe for them. Now I will since I haven’t had them since the local GM closed here years ago and they sound mighty delish!!

Looks like just what we need to warm up tonight. TFS. Have you ever used a diff cheese? I tried the garlic cheese that comes in a tube that was not used for a dip recipe I planned for Christmas and it was verrry good. Truth be told it’s probably just velveeta with garlic in it lol
