Wacky Wed. Recipe

Broccoli Soup--

1/3 cup of onions (I use onion powder)
3 Cups cut frozen broccoli

Cook together until tender. When tender, drain off any excess water. (You can cook this in the microwave while preparing the sauce)

Sauce:
1/2 stick butter (I use butter not margarine)
1/2 cup flour
1/4 tsp. salt
pepper if desired

In deep sauce pan, melt butter and add flour and salt until all is covered in the butter.

Add to sauce:
1 can chicken broth a little at a time, stirring constantly.
2 cups of milk, adding slowly while stirring.
1/4 cup Velvetta cheese

Add broccoli and onions to the sauce. Cook over low to med heat; stirring often until it thickens and the cheese melts.

Doubling the recipe makes for a wonderful meal for your family. We love this soup and it is quick and easy and nice, especially on cold days like today.
