Broccoli Cheddar Soup



Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup flour
4 cups half & half
4 cups chicken broth
1 pkg Lipton Onion Soup mix
3 carrots, minced
2 pkgs Steamfresh frozen broccoli
salt & pepper to taste
8oz sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions:
Melt butter in large pot. Add flour and whisk over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Stir constantly and slowly add half & half. Add chicken stock, still whisking. Stir in package of dry onion soup mix and minced carrots.

Simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Soup will thicken.

Add frozen broccoli, salt & pepper. Cook until warmed through.

Carefully transfer soup mixture to a blender and puree. Return soup to pot (or crockpot) over low heat. Add shredded cheese. Stir until well blended.

Serve in a bread bowl, or with toasted french bread slices (buttered and sprinkled with salt & parmesan cheese from the green bottle ~ pop under the broiler for a few minutes). Mmm mmm!

Makes 8-10 servings
