This broccoli cheese soup is very flavorful. It's great for serving at luncheons or special gatherings with a quiche. To make it a little fancier, add 1 cup sliced mushrooms and 1 cup white wine with the onions.
Ingredients
½ cup butter
1 onion, chopped
1 (16 ounce) package frozen chopped broccoli
4 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 (1 pound) loaf processed cheese food, cubed
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon garlic powder
⅔ cup cornstarch
1 cup water
Directions
Melt butter in a stockpot over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened. Stir in broccoli. Add broth and simmer until broccoli is tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
Reduce heat; add cheese cubes and stir until melted. Stir in milk and garlic powder.
Stir cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until smooth. Stir into soup; cook, stirring frequently, until thick.
