INGREDIENTS
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 medium chopped onion
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 cups half-and-half cream
- 2 cups hen inventory or broth
- 1/2 lb broccoli, (about 3 cups), chopped into chunk dimension items
- 1 cup carrot, , julienned (can purchase matchstick carrots in produce part)
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, (elective however brings out the flavour)
- 8 ounces grated sharp cheddar cheese, (2 cups)
- salt and pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
- Soften the 1/4 cup butter and sautee the onions in it till comfortable. Sprinkle the flour over the combination. Prepare dinner and stir over medium warmth for 1-2 minutes.
- Whisk within the half & half and hen inventory.
- Add the broccoli and carrots. Prepare dinner over low warmth for 20-25 minutes or till the broccoli and carrots are tender.
- Add salt and pepper. You’ll be able to go away the soup chunky or mix about 1 cup of the soup and stir it in for a smoother soup (that’s what I do). Return to low warmth and add the cheese. In case your warmth is just too excessive your soup can get grainy. Stir within the nutmeg if desired.
- Serve with crusty bread.
