Grocery List

• 1 large or two small heads of fresh broccoli
• 6 cups chicken broth or stock
• 6 T. butter
• 1 small onion
• ½ cup (heaping) flour
• 1¼ c. milk
• ½ tsp. pepper
• 8 oz. sharp cheddar cheese

Here's how...

1. Chop broccoli into small pieces. Put them in a large pot with chicken broth. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes or until broccoli is tender.
2. Chop a small onion finely.
3. In a small skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until tender.
4. Whisk in flour and keep whisking 2-3 minutes to let the flour taste cook off.
5. Slowly whisk in milk until the temperature comes to a low boil and the sauce thickens. Turn heat to low and add in the freshly grated Cheddar and cream cheese.
