BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP

With the cold and windy weather we are having here in Central Indiana,

I decided that it is the perfect time to make soup.

One of my favorite soups is broccoli cheese soup.

So I'm sharing with you my recipe for this delicious soup.

INGREDIENTS

3 cups water

2 tablespoons chicken granules

2 bunches of broccoli, chopped

1/2 onion minced

2 cups milk

1/2 cup margarine or butter (I prefer butter)

5 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

DIRECTIONS

1. Bring water and chicken bouillon granules to a boil in a pot. Add broccoli and onion; cook at a boil until tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
2. Combine milk, margarine, flour, and cream cheese in a large pot over medium heat; cook and stir until the margarine melts and the mixture begins to thicken, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir Cheddar cheese into the milk mixture; cook and stir until the Cheddar melts completely.
4. Pour the broccoli mixture into the cheese mixture in the large pot; stir well.
