Ingredients

2 Lbs Frozen Broccoli Florets

2 Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese

1 Cup 1% Milk

4 Cups (or 2 small cans) Vegetable Broth

3 Cups Water

1 Large Onion Chopped ( you want 1 cup chopped or more)

3 Cloves Garlic (Crushed)

2 Bouillon Cubes (Chicken - No MSG)

2 Tbls Olive Oil

1 Tbls Butter (optional)

Directions

In a large dutch oven/stock pot, saute chopped onions until soft in olive oil and butter until soft, add 3 cloves crushed garlic and continue sauteing for 2-3 more minutes. Add canned veggie broth, water, 2 bouillon cubes and frozen broccoli. Bring to low boil with cover on and cook broccoli for about 15 minutes or so, or until tender.

In a blender puree (in small batches) cooked broccoli and soup/broth until creamy. Be careful of the steam and go slow, do not rush. Return all pureed soup back into dutch oven/stock pot and slowly add milk and cheese... heat slowly (covered) until cheese is melted, stirring, maybe 5-10 minutes, no longer. Enjoy.
