- 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.
