"Or So She Says" Broccoli Cheese Soup

2 cans chicken broth

1 small onion, chopped 2/3 cup flour

1/2 cup butter

1/2 tsp. pepper

4 cups milk

3 cups extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1 cup swiss cheese, shredded

Broccoli florets, steamed & chopped ( I used about a bag of frozen...amount is totally your preference.)

Directions: Simmer chicken broth and chopped onion for 15 minutes in a covered saucepan, until onions are soft. (Because I just used dehydrated onions, it didn't have to heat so long) Heat the milk in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes. In a large stockpot, melt the butter. Add the flour and pepper, whisk and cook together for a couple of minutes. Whisk in warmed milk. Continue to stir and cook until the soup starts to thicken. Next add the chicken broth and continue to stir until well blended. Add the cheeses and steamed broccoli.

 

This took a while to make but I seriously couldnt get enough of it. Well worth the time.
