Today was a lovely day and I woke up craving Broccoli soup I have an addiction to really good Broccoli soup, I woke up and I told my husband Honey no more deli bought soup I'm totally going to make it. He replied I know it will be delicious just like everything else you make (awe)! He is totally a charmer. After the lovely morning talk with my honey I decided to get to work on making the soup, first things first Do I have all the ingredients? Well What DA-Ya know I did. Woohoo! I got all my ingredients together and went to work. Here is the recipe I hope you will enjoy it as much as we did, it turned out so Amazing there was none left by the end of the day : )
3 table spoons Butter, melted
1 Medium onion, Diced
1/3 Cup, All Purpose flour
4 Cups, half and half
4 cups, chicken stock, I use homemade, but you can use what ever kind you have : )
1 lb fresh Broccoli or frozen
2 cups, shredded carrots
Salt and Pepper to taste
sprinkle of nutmeg, for garnish
1lb of cheddar cheese
Note: If you need to thin the soup out a little just add some milk, a little at a time until it is at the consistency you like it.
saute onion and butter, add flour little by little until it forms a thick consistency. Stir constantly slowly add half and half . Add chicken stock, still whisking.
Simmer 15 minutes
Add broccoli, carrots and onion. Cook over low heat until veggies are tender about 25-30 minutes. Add salt and pepper. The soup should be thick by now.
Carefully transfer soup to a blender and puree. Return soup to pot over low heat (I like to put mine in a crock pot on low setting). Add cheese, stir until well blended. Add nutmeg right before serving.. It is really yummy with long garlic crackers. Enjoy!
P.s Delicious looking/tasting wings you see in the pix, I'll post the recipe on another post.
Love Jen
