Tonight we had a broccoli and cheese soup with salad for dinner. It was the best broccoli and cheese soup I have ever had. To give credit, it's from the Mast Farm Inn cookbook. The Mast Farm Inn is a very nice bed and breakfast in Valle Crucis, NC. Rich used to wait tables and cook breakfast at the Inn. Most of the recipes from the book are too complex, but this one is simple and so delicious.
1/2 cu. butter
1 bunch broccoli, cut into bite size pieces
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cu. flour
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. salt
3 cu. milk
2 cu. chicken broth
1 cu. cheddar shredded
1 cu. colby & monteray jack shredded
1. Melt butter in 3 qt saucepan. Saute broccoli and onion until broccoli is tender-crisp
2. Combine flour, mustard and salt in small bowl. Add to saucepan. Gradually add milk and broth and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened.
3. Reduce heat and gradually stir in 1 1/2 cu. of cheese
4. Divide remaining cheese and sprinkle some on top of soup in each bowl before serving.
Personal Modification:
-the recipe called for Jarlsburg cheese, but I used the ones listed above
-i used white onion
ENJOY!
