The other night on the way home I asked my son what he wanted for dinner. He excitedly claimed "Waffles!" So I promised him waffles for dinner. Little did I know, that my lovely husband would be home before me and already cooking dinner. Well, I couldn't bring myself to disappoint my little boy and not give him his waffles, could I? So, we had an interesting combination of dishes for dinner last night....waffles and broccoli cheese soup! Despite my initial lack of excitement, they actually complemented each other rather well. Anyway, here is the recipe for the Broccoli cheese soup.
Broccoli Cheese Soup (feeds 4-6)
1/4 c butter
1/2 medium onion (chopped)
2 carrots (peeled and shredded)
1 c fresh or frozen broccoli (chopped)
1 clove garlic (minced)
1-1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 c chicken broth
1 c velveeta (cubed)
2 c cheddar (shredded)
1/4 c cream
salt (to taste)
1/4 tsp cayenne
Melt butter in pan on medium heat. Add onions and cook until translucent. Add carrots, broccoli, and garlics and cook for 2 min. Add broth and cover. Boil for 5-10 min or until vegetables are cooked to your liking. Slowly add cheeses until melted. Add cream, salt, and cayenne. If soup is too runny you can add some cornstarch mixed with cold water. Slowly add the small bit of cornstarch and let soup return to boil until soup reaches the desired consistency.
