Directions:

  • This recipe serves two. To serve more deliciousness, double the ingredients.
  • In a small saucepan, saute onion in butter until tender. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper until blended; gradually add milk and broth.
  • Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes.
  • Chef's Tip: Curdling in a cream soup usually occurs when the milk or cream is added at too high of a heat. As you gradually pour milk and broth into the onion and flour mixture, keep heat at medium and stir continuously with a whisk. Once it is all mixed in, then proceed to heat to a boil.
  • Add broccoli. Cook and stir until heated through and steaming. Remove from the heat; stir in cheese until melted, then serve.
