Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 medium onion, chopped fine
6 tablespoons margarine
8 tablespoons flour
4 cups 2% low-fat milk (one quart)
1 bunch broccoli, stems and leaves removed
1 cup chicken broth or 1 cup water
8 slices American cheese
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • In a large pot over medium heat, cook the onions in the margarine until soft.
  • Stir in the flour and cook (but do not brown) for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
  • Whisk in the milk, reduce heat and stir occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, chop the broccoli florets into small pieces, place in a small saucepan with the broth (or water) and bring to boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until tender (about 6-8 minutes).
  • As the milk mixture thickens, stir in the slices of American cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • When the broccoli is tender, add it (including the cooking liquid) to the thickened cheese mixture. Stir well to combine and serve immediately.
