Ingredients
- 5 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup onion pureed or finely chopped
- 3 cups fresh broccoli finely chopped
- 1 cup broccoli chopped fresh medium
- 1 cup carrots grated
- 1.5 tsp minced garlic
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 cup half and half I used fat free
- Dash of garlic salt
- 1 cup shredded gouda cheese I used apple smoked
- 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add the broccoli, onion, garlic, carrots, bay leaf and chicken broth to a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat simmering for 15 minutes. I have the lid half on the pot so steam can escape a little.
- When you have about 5 minutes left of the broccoli mixture start the cream sauce.
- In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter and add flour. Whisk together while it cooks for 3-4 minutes. When your veggies are done, slowly pour in just the liquid from the boiling vegetables. It’s totally fine if a few veggies slip inside the pot. Wisk quickly as soon as the liquid hits the butter/flour mixture. After that thickens a little add in the vegetables, half n half and dash of garlic salt. Mix slowly until heated though. Remove from heat and add in shredded cheeses. Then add salt and pepper if you think it needs it.
- Freezing Directions: Prepare soup as directed above and allow to cool. Divide into quart or gallon freezer bags, label, and freeze. To serve: reheat on stove top or microwave until heated through. Enjoy.
