Sheila's Broccoli Cheddar Soup image

This was one of the first recipes I learned as a brand new cook. It is simple, easy and the family loved it. My kids loved coming home from school and having this soup waiting for them on a cold winter day. I am still making it 30 years later! This recipe doubles great! Fresh broccoli has less of a strong taste than frozen...

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 c chopped fresh broccoli (frozen can be used too)
4 Tbsp butter
1/2 c diced onions
1/4 c flour
1 clove minced garlic
3 c water
2 Tbsp chicken bouillon

Steps:

  • 1. Chop broccoli into bite size pieces. Boil broccoli until tender, drain, save the broccoli water, add the bullion set aside.
