Kristis Gf Super Terrific Broccoli Cheese Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in flour; cook until golden, about 2 minutes. Add chicken broth, almond milk, and cream; cook and stir for 2 minutes.
• Stir in red pepper flakes, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Increase heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and cook for 3 minutes. Add Mexican, Italian, and Cheddar cheeses. Cook and stir until melted, 2 to 5 minutes.
• Turn heat to high, add broccoli, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes. Increase heat to high again, and cook until broccoli is tender but not mushy, 2 to 3 minutes.

Steps:

• Mix cider, chicken broth, milk and garlic in a LARGE POT (I used a 10 qt pot) and slowly bring to a simmer. Put onions, mushrooms, green onion and jalapeno into the pot. Simmer about 10 minutes so flavors have time to blend.
• While you're simmering, get a pan big enough to hold all your broccoli. Put water in it and bring it to a boil. Once you have a good boil going, put all the broccoli in and cook for 2 minutes. DO NOT OVER COOK! Broccoli will go grey really fast, you're just looking to get a bright green, which should happen almost instantly. If it's not all bright green, don't fret, it will be ok.
• In a large coffee mug or bowl, mix the cornstarch and the water until the cornstarch is completely dissolved. I like to use a coffee mug and a fork, but whatever works is okee dokee.
• Once your soup has simmered a bit, go ahead and add the cornstarch and bring it to a full boil while stirring. This will make it loads easier to thicken than if you wait until later. :) Stir until you've reached something just shy of your desired consistency (the cheese will add some thickening power, too). Drop the heat back to a slow simmer and add the broccoli.
• With the lowest heat you can (and the soup still simmers, that is!), add the cheese, slowly, no more than a handful at a time and stir until it melts. Word has it that a figure 8 is the best way to stir in cheese, but I didn't try it when I made this soup, so I don't know. Be patient and work in the cheese until there isn't anymore.
• With your cheese melted, season to taste. You'll probably want some black pepper and salt, paprika is good, mustard would be nice with this, too. I leave that up to you.
• If/when rewarming, make sure you do it on the stovetop over med-low heat. Cornstarch thickened anything doesn't like to reheat in the microwave very well. I'm not really sure why, but that's the way it is. :).

Steps:

• 1. Combine chicken broth, water, half-and-half, cheese, flour, onion, and pepper in a large saucepan. Whisk to combine and to break up any lumps of flour, then turn heat to medium/high. Bring soup to a boil, and then reduce heat to low.
• 2. Add broccoli to soup and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until broccoli is tender but not soft.
• 3. For each serving, spoon one cup of soup into a bowl and garnish with a tablespoon of shredded cheese and a pinch of parsley.

Steps:

• Combine Chicken broth, water, half and half, cheese, flour, onion and pepper in a large soup pot.
• Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then reduce to a simmer.
• Add broccoli and simmer for 15 minutes more or until broccoli is tender but not mushy.
• Pour into a large soup bowl and offer cheese and parsley at the table.

Steps:

• In a stockpot, melt butter over medium heat. Cook onion in butter until softened. Stir in broccoli, and cover with chicken broth. Simmer until broccoli is tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Reduce heat, and stir in cheese cubes until melted. Mix in milk and garlic powder.
• In a small bowl, stir cornstarch into water until dissolved. Stir into soup; cook, stirring frequently, until thick.
