Ingredients
- 1⁄4 cup butter or 1⁄4 cup margarine
- 1⁄4 cup flour
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk (or 3 c. milk, no half & half)
- 1 cup half-and-half cream
- 1 cup bagged shredded cheddar cheese
- 1⁄4 lb processed cheese, cut into smaller cubes (I use Walmart brand Velveeta)
- 1 (16 ounce) bag frozen broccoli, chopped into bite-sized pieces (thawing not necessary)
Directions
- In a large stockpot, melt the butter. When melted, stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the broth, milk & cream, and salt. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Stir in the cheese and broccoli. Simmer for 10 minutes. Serve.
- Note: If this is not thick enough for you, make some thickening from cornstarch and water; increase heat to just under boiling and stir in rapidly to prevent lumps.
