how to make tinas broccoli cheese soup

Put broccoli in a glass bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave for about 3 to 4 minutes (this helped to cook the broccoli and it is amazing).

Simmer chicken broth and chopped onion for 15-20 minutes in a covered small saucepan, until onions are soft.

Heat milk in microwave for 1-2 minutes

In a separate medium-sized stockpot, melt butter then add flour, salt and pepper. Cook together, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes

Whisk in warmed milk

Stir and heat together on medium heat until soup starts to thicken, about 5-8 minutes

Add warmed chicken broth and continue to stir until well blended.

Add cheeses and stir until completely melted

Stir in seamed broccoli. Add more salt and pepper to taste, if needed

Serve immediately in bowls (We like bread bowls)
