Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter unsalted
- 1 onion chopped, medium
- 1 lb broccoli chopped, fresh
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 pound processed cheese such as Velveeta, cubed
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese
- 2 cups milk
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 cup water
- 2/3 cup cornstarch
Instructions
- In a large heavy bottomed soup pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped broccoli. Add the chicken broth. Simmer until the broccoli is tender, 10-15 minutes.
- Reduce the heat and stir in the cheese cubes until they are melted. (I will sometimes use a whisk at this point to make sure the cheese melts in completely.) Stir in the cheddar cheese until melted. Then stir in the milk and the garlic powder.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and the water until the cornstarch is dissolved. Stir the mixture into the soup. Stir until the soup is thickened.
- Serve warm.
