Chicken Broccoli Alfredo Soup image

Here's a scrumptious soup served at Dairy Keen (three-time "Best of State" winner) of Heber City, Utah. This is a recipe I've not had long, but have made over and over and OVER again. It is that good!

Time 30m

Yield 10 cups, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1/4 cup chopped onion
3 large garlic cloves, minced (or 1/2 Tbsp Minced Garlic)
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup flour
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 quart half-and-half cream
1 1/2 cups freshly-grated parmesan cheese
2 cups water
1 bunch broccoli (tops only, cut into bite-sized pieces)
3 cups boneless chicken breasts, cooked and diced
1 1/4 teaspoons white pepper
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 dash nutmeg
6 ounces farfelle bow tie pasta, cooked according to package directions

Steps:

In a heavy stockpot over medium heat, sauté onion and garlic in butter for 2-3 minutes; add flour and cook, stirring, for another 2-3 minutes until bubbly; gradually whisk in chicken broth and half & half; cook, stirring frequently, until thickened.
Meanwhile, in a separate pan, add water to broccoli and bring just to boiling (the broccoli should be only partially cooked and not soft) then remove from heat; do not drain cooking water from broccoli.
Add parmesan cheese to soup-base in stockpot; cook over low heat, stirring, just until cheese is melted; add cooked broccoli along with its cooking water, chicken, seasonings, and bow tie pasta to the stockpot; heat through.
NOTES: 6 ounces bow tie pasta equals 2 1/4 cups before cooking and 3 cups diced chicken breast equals 1 ½ pounds before cooking. Also, decrease the salt by half if you happen to substitute full-sodium chicken broth in this recipe.
