Broccoli Cheese Soup


Ingredients
4 tablespoons melted butter
1 medium to lg. chopped onion
4 tbsp. flour
2 cups half-and-half cream
3 cups chicken stock
2lb fresh broccoli (about 1 cup)
1 cup carrot, julienned
? teaspoon nutmeg
2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions

Saute the onion in butter until clear. Add flour and cook medium heat for about 3-4 minutes while stirring.
Slowly whisk in the half and half and chicken stock. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes.
Add the broccoli, carrots. Let them simmer on medium low for about 25 minutes until the broccoli and carrots are tender.
Add salt and pepper and sharp cheddar cheese. Let the cheese melt and then serve. For a smoother soup puree it in a blender... but I love the chunks!
2lb of broccoli is a lot more than 1 cup.

Soups looks great, I love a good broccoli and cheese soup.
