The weekend... Broccoli cheese soup

There aren't many meals that I make more than once or twice.  I just like cooking and love experimenting with new foods.  But I make broccoli cheese soup... and that recipe is one that Husband told me I have to make again.  So every so often I pull that recipe out. 

This weekend we had friends over and so I pulled it out again.  It's so good when you make bread bowls to go with it too.

Ingredients:
1 TBSP olive oil

1 cup chopped onion

2 garlic, minced

3 cups fat-free low-sodium chicken broth

1 head of broccoli

2 1/2 cups milk, we use skim

1/3 cup flour

1/4 teaspoon black pepper 

8 ounces velveeta, we use the 2%

Instructions:

In a large pot, saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil.

Add the chicken broth and broccoli.  Simmer 10 minutes.

In a small bowl mix the milk and flour.

Add the milk mixture to the broccoli and broth.  Cook 5 minutes, or until slightly thick.

Remove from heat and add the cheese, stirring until it's melted.

Using a blender or immersion blender, blend half the soup until it's creamy.

Eat with friends!  Enjoy!!
