Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 onion (diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
½ cup butter
1 cup flour
8 cups chicken broth
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cooked and cut into bite-sized pieces)
2 heads fresh broccoli ((or 2 bags of frozen broccoli))
1½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
a couple shakes of hot sauce (optional)
1 cup milk
4 cups sharp cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Steps:

In a large saucepan, saute onion and garlic over medium high heat until tender (just a couple of minutes).
Add butter and flour, lower heat to medium, and cook until roux is bubbly and starting to brown (it will start to smell amazing!).
Pour roux into a large stock pot and add chicken broth, stirring the entire time you add the broth to prevent lumps.
Add chicken, broccoli, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and hot sauce to stock pot and cook for about 35-40 minutes (less if using frozen broccoli).
Stir in cheese and milk until cheese is fully melted and serve.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables and herbs will give your soup the best flavor. If you're using frozen vegetables, be sure to thaw them completely before adding them to the soup.
Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too many ingredients to the pot, the soup will be too thick and the vegetables won't cook evenly. Add the ingredients in batches if necessary.
Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften.
Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream to brighten up the flavors.
Serve the soup hot: Chicken broccoli soup is best served hot, with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
