Introduction

"Sneaky" because I use my immersion blender to grind up all the veggies. "Sneaky" because I use my immersion blender to grind up all the veggies.

Ingredients

    16 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into cubes (I suggest using clean and sharp kitchen scissors. MUCH easier)
    4 cups chopped broccoli
    2 cups baby spinach
    4 cups sliced mushroom caps
    1.5 cups chopped onions
    2 green bell peppers, chopped
    Season to taste with:
    Salt
    pepper
    coriander
    cardamom
    cumin
    garlic powder
    onion powder (different flavor than fresh onions!)
    6 cups shredded mild cheddar
    3 cups whole milk
    1/2 cup all purpose flour dissolved into cold water

Directions

In a very large soup pot, boil all the vegetables until soft. Use immersion blender to make a smooth texture. Add the chicken and all the seasonings. Boil about 20 minutes until cooked through, stirring almost constantly to avoid letting the veggies sink to the bottom. Add the dissolved flour, the milk, and the cheese, stirring constantly still, until the soup comes to a slow boil. Serve immediately.

Serving Size: Makes about 16 generous 2 cup servings
