Time 50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 lbs finely chopped broccoli (fresh is best but frozen is fine)
2 quarts water
1 medium onion, diced fine
3 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon cumin
8 chicken bouillon cubes (I use Wyler's brand)
1 dash pepper
3/4 lb cubed Velveeta cheese
1/4 lb margarine
1 1/2 cups milk
2/3 cup flour

Steps:

  • Simmer first 7 ingredients together in a large saucepan until brocolli is tender, 20-30 minutes.
  • Remove bay leaves.
  • Add cheese and margarine. Stir until dissolved.
  • In a small bowl, mix in milk and flour, stirring until smooth and no floury lumps remain.
  • Add this slurry to the soup, stirring constantly until the soup bubbles in the mixture. Cook for 5-10 minutes more, then remove from heat and serve immediately.
