Cuisine American
- 8 cups Broccoli chopped enough to go into the soup
- 3 cups Sharp Cheddar
- 2 cups Whole Milk
- 2 cups Chicken Broth
- 2 stalks Celery chopped
- 8 tablespoons Salted Butter Go for salted...it just tastes better
- 1 Yellow Onion finely chopped
- 1/4 cup flour to thicken
- 2 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Carrot finely chopped
Place the butter along with the chopped onion and celery into a pot and sweat these bad boys off. Once translucent, add the flour making sure to keep stirring. If you think you can stop stirring, you are wrong. Keep stirring.
Add the broth and continue to stir. Add in the pepper and salt. After about 2 minutes, you are going to add the rest of the ingredients and let them cook down for about 7-10 minutes. Add in the milk and cheese. Make sure to keep the temperature on a solid 4/10 on the heat scale or you will scorch it and no one likes scorched soups.
Garnish with some JalapeƱos and some more cheddar and you got yourself an amazing soup.
