Equipment

  • cutting board
  • large saucepan
  • Large High-sided Skillet
  • Silicone Whisk Set of 3

Ingredients

  • 3 cups fresh broccoli
  • 8 ounces of Velveeta cheese
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 3 Tablespoons butter
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • On a cutting board, chop the broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
  • Cut the Velveeta cheese into small cubes.
  • In a large saucepan combine the chicken broth, chopped broccoli, and onion powder. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, cover, lower the heat, and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • While the veggies simmer, over medium heat melt butter in a skillet.
  • Whisk in the flour and cook for about one minute or until golden brown.
  • Pour in the milk a little at a time and whisk continuously until combined and thickened.
  • Add the shredded cheddar cheese and Velveeta cheese cubes. Stir until melted and mixed.
  • Sprinkle in the garlic powder. Stir to combine.
  • Pour the cheese sauce into the large pot over the cooked veggies and stir until well combined. If you want a thinner consistency, you can add more milk and additional salt and black pepper to your taste.
  • Transfer to serving bowls and top with additional shredded cheddar, if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Store leftover homemade broccoli cheese soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
