Broccoli Cheese Soup
Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 9 cups chicken stock
  • 9 cups milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons white pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 5 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 1/2 pounds processed cheese, shredded
  • 3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions
1
Heat butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until melted. Combine the melted butter with flour and cook for approximately 2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
2
Reduce the heat to a low simmer and continue cooking for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
3
Gradually pour in chicken stock and milk into the saucepan, adding a pinch of white pepper and salt to taste. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then decrease the heat to a low simmer and let cook for around 10 minutes.
4
In a separate pot, bring a large quantity of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook the broccoli in boiling water until it reaches your desired level of tenderness, approximately 2 minutes.
5
Remove the broccoli from heat and drain off any excess water.
6
Combine the processed cheese and Cheddar cheese into the milk-stock mixture, stirring until fully incorporated. Gradually add the cheese to the saucepan and continue cooking until it reaches your desired consistency, about 5 minutes.
7
Combine the cooked broccoli into the cheese sauce and continue cooking until it reaches your desired level of tenderness, about 5 minutes.
