Hey Everyone! No one has updated for a while, we have all been very busy, I understand. But I made some Broccoli Cheese Soup tonight and I thought it was pretty good. I combined another recipe with moms, and I really like it. And instead of writing it down on paper so I could remember it, I decided just to write it down here. Its pretty easy.
1 lb bag of California Mix vegetables, plus 6 oz frozen broccoli, both chopped to smaller pieces
10 cups water
10 chicken boullion cubes
1/2 cup butter
1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp ground mustard
10 oz. velveeta cheese (I use the 2% kind)
2-6 oz. cheddar cheese or to taste
onion salt to taste
Chop up the vegetables to your desired size steam them either in a pan with a little water or in a steamer basket over the 10 cups water. When the water is boiling, or when vegetables are tender if using steamer basket, add the bouillon cubes and stir to dissolve. In separate pan melt butter and add flour and ground mustard. This will be really dry. Add one cup of broth to the roux and mix, then do this two more times. Add thinned roux to the rest of the broth and whisk together until smooth. Add veggies then add cheeses. When the cheese is melted, taste it and see if you want to add a little onion salt. Mmm! Mine is all gone and I wish I had more. Au revoir!
