1/2 lb butter (2 sticks)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 quart chicken stock
1 quart half-and-half
1 -1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

  • Add chicken stock, half and half, salt, mustard, and cayenne.
  • Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently.
  • Add broccoli and reduce heat to a simmer.
  • Cook about 15-20 min, or until the broccoli is crisp-tender.
