Super Yummy Broccoli Cheese Soup

One of my favorite parts of the seasons changing to fall is the change in menu.

I LOVE LOVE soups!!

I was craving cheddar broccoli and tried this new recipe. It kicked butt on my old one...in everyway including calories but was OH SO worth it!

You gotta try it!

Start with butter and flour to make a roux

Whisk away!

Then add some chicken broth

And a little milk! :)

Then add a TON of chopped broccoli!

Then add Velveeta and real shredded cheese

Steam the broccoli for a few mins!

Let the soup simmer for about ten minutes! Oh it starts to smell super good about now :)

Toss in the cooked broccoli and get ready to feast

Yeah I couldn't wait to dig in to take a pic...so you get to see the bottom of my bowl!

It was SERIOUSLY that good!

A pot full of yummy soupy goodness! MMMMMMMMMMMM

Let me know what ya think!! :)
Happy Cooking!
