Southern Oklahoma Broccoli-Cheese Soup Recipe

Southern Oklahoma Broccoli-Cheese Soup Recipe

My mother use to make this meal for all us boys when we were growing up. I got the recipe from her a few years ago and have made it many times over the years. It's easy and here's how. Read more . . . .

1 (10 oz.) package of frozen chopped broccoli

3 tablespoons of butter

1/4 medium onion, chopped up really well

1/4 cup of flour

1 (16 oz.) carton of half-and-half cream

1 (14 oz.) can of chicken broth

1 (8 oz.) package of cubed mild Mexican Velveeta Cheese

Punch several holes in the broccoli package and microwave for 5 minutes.

Turn the package and microwave for an additional 4 minutes.

Leave in the microwave for 3 minutes and let it cool some.

In a large saucepan, melt butter and saute onion, but do not brown.

Add the flour, stir, and gradually add the cream, chicken broth, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.

Stir constantly and heat until the mixture is slightly thick. Do NOT let the mixture come to a boil. Add the cheese, and stir and heat until the cheese melts. Add the cooked broccoli.

You're meal is complete and you are about to have one of the best dishes one can put on a dinner table.

I also wanted to let my readers know that soups and stews don't cost much to make. It's easy to make soup stocks from meat scraps and bones boiled with vegetables such as carrots, celery, and onions. These are simmered slowly in water in a soup pot until all the flavor is in the stock. I just discard the bones, meat and vegetables and you have the start of a delicious soup.

They will thank you after making it one time for their families. Until next time, have a blessed day, and thank you.
