Ingredients

    1/2 Onion, diced
    6 slices of bacon, sliced
    4 cups of chicken broth (or bullion)
    1.5 cups half and half or heavy cream
    1/4 tsp cyanne or red pepper flakes
    2 tablespoons parsley
    1 cup shredded or diced cheddar cheese
    3 cups chopped steamed or boiled broccoli

Directions

Cook bacon in large pot, and when bacon is 1/2 cooked, add onions. Cook until onions are clear on medium heat. Add chicken broth and spices. Stir until warm. Do not boil.

If broccoli is uncooked, add first, and warm until cooked through. If using steamed, microwaved or boiled broccoli, add broccoli and cheese and stir until creamy.

This soup can be served pureed or chunky. For smoother texture, puree 1/2 of the cooked broccoli before adding to soup.
