I made this for dinner tonight and it was so delicious. Creamy and not too thick, and tons of flavor. Recipe from Key Ingredient. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter, melted |
1/2 medium onion, chopped |
1/4 cup melted butter |
1/4 cup flour |
2 cups half-and-half |
2 cups chicken stock or 2 cups bouillon |
1/2 lb fresh broccoli |
1 cup carrot, julienned |
salt and pepper, to taste |
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg |
8 ounces grated sharp cheddar cheese |
Directions:
1. Saute onion in butter. Set aside. Cook melted butter and flour using a whisk over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Stir constantly and slowly add the half-and-half (this is called making a roux). Add the chicken stock whisking all the time. Simmer for 20 minutes.
2. Add the broccoli, carrots and onions. Cook over low heat until the veggies are tender for 20-25 minutes. Add salt and pepper. The soup should be thickened by now. Pour in batches into blender and puree. Return to pot over low heat and add the grated cheese; stir until well blended. Stir in the nutmeg and serve.
