Tasty Tuesday: Cream of Broccoli Soup

This is my mom's recipe and mmmmm...is it delicious!!! The first meal I ever made for my husband (while we were dating) included this Cream of Broccoli Soup as the appetizer! I was cooking to impress and it worked!!! This is still a favorite in our home now and I hope this warms your family on a chilly fall day!

Cream of Boccoli Soup:
2 10oz packages frozen chopped broccoli
3/4 cups finely chopped onion
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder
1lb. Velveeta Cheese cubed
1 cup milk
1 cup whipping cream (1/2 pint)
1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup flour


1. Add the broccoli and onion to 4 cups of boiling water. Cook 10-12 minutes.

2. Add the next 4 ingredients mixing well.

3. Cook until the cheese melts stirring constantly.

4. Add the milk, cream, butter and stir.

5. Put the flour in a small bowl and add 1/2 cup of soup in the bowl. Stir it until it is smooth and then add this back to the soup. (This thickens the soup - sometimes it can be lumpy - but stir it in as best as you can.)

6. Bring it to a boil and then simmer for 10 minutes. Then serve it with a crusty bread - the night I made it here, I served it with Pillsbury French Bread.
