30 Minute Cheesy Broccoli Soup

I love soup...and not just in the winter.  I make it year round.  One of my go-to recipes is a creamy, broccoli cheese soup.  Unlike some soups, this recipe takes only about 30 minutes to prepare and cook.  Honestly, that's about how long it takes to drive to the supermarket, pick-up soup in the deli, come home and warm up.  Plus, for the price of a single serving of deli soup, you can feed your whole crew.

My cheesy broccoli soup is a variation of the Kraft Velveeta Broccoli Soup recipe.  I really encourage you to give this one a try!

30 Minute Cheesy Broccoli Soup

2 tsp butter

1/2 white or yellow onion, diced

2 Tbsp flour

1 1/2 cup milk

1 cup chicken broth

1 lb fresh broccoli, stems removed, chopped

3/4 lb Velveeta (I use Aldi brand to save $$)

pinch of ground nutmeg

ground black pepper to taste

Melt butter in soup pot over medium heat, add onion and cook for about 5 minutes.  Mix in flour and cook about 1 minute longer, stirring constantly.  Add milk and broth and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer 1-2 minutes.  Add broccoli, cheese, and black pepper. Cook until cheese is melted, stirring occasionally.
