Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup diced onion
- 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups Half & Half
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 ½ cups chopped broccoli
- 3 medium carrots diced
- 3 medium celery stalks diced
- 8 ounces mild cheddar cheese shredded
- 8 ounces Velveeta cubed
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in onion and saute until tender, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Whisk in flour and continue to stir until the mixture turns golden brown, this should take about 5 minutes.
- Slowly whisk in half-and-half to onion mixture, stirring until the mixture is smooth. Add chicken broth, salt and pepper.
- Reduce heat to low to medium heat and simmer until thickened. This will take about 10 minutes.
- Add broccoli, carrots, and celery. Simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the veggies are tender, but still have a bit of bite to them.
- Reduce heat to low. Add cheddar cheese and Velveeta to soup and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cheese melts and the soup is smooth and creamy, about 10 minutes.
- Give the soup a taste and add additional salt and pepper if necessary.
- If you prefer a thinner soup, you can add a bit more chicken broth until you reach the desired consistency.
