Broccoli Cheese Soup

This recipe is so easy and so good on cold days. My family really enjoys this.

  • 2 chicken bouillon cubes
  • 1 1/2 cups hot water
  • 3 cups fresh chopped broccoli (I used some florets and some of the stalk)
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (i did a mix of cheddar, swiss and boursin)
  • pinch of nutmeg
  • pinch of pepper
  • 1/4 cup of flour
  • 1/2 cup cold water
Dissolve bouillon cubes in the hot water in a pot. Add broccoli and cook until tender. Add milk, cheese, nutmeg and pepper. Stir until the cheese is melted. Mix flour with the cold water and add to mixture. Stir constantly until soup thickens.

I usually tweak every recipe I find. Taking out stuff I don't care for and adding things I know taste good. Some people prefer different types of cheese and this is a recipe that can be changed to suit your tastes.

Enjoy!
