Cheese Soup with Broccoli~ Allrecipes.com

1 chopped onion
6 TBSP margarine (or butter)
1/3 cup four
salt and pepper to taste
4 cups milk
3 cups chicken broth
1 carrot shredded
1 cup broccoli florets
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 lb processed cheese cubed (Velveeta) although you could use cheddar as well)
*** I would double ALL the veggies except for the onion and add a little bit of cyan pepper)
Directions: Saute onion in butter/marg. until tender. Add flour and salt and pepper mix until smooth. Add the milk slowly until mixture is thick and bubbly

In a smaller pan bring the chicken broth to a boil add the carrots celery and broccoli. Cook about 5 minutes or until tender. Combine until broth and milk mixture and stir till fully blended.

Add cheese. Allow soup to heat over med until cheese is melted DO NOT boil because cheese will separate. Serve hot. My family LOVED this one! (Larry says it is good cold the next day as well!
