Description

Directions

• In a medium pot, combine broccoli and chicken broth. Cover and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain the chicken broth into a separate container to use later and set broccoli and broth aside.
• In a large pot, over medium heat, melt butter and add onions, cooking until translucent.
• Add flour and cook, whisking continuously for about 2 minutes, until the flour is just golden.
• Continue to stir and slowly pour in chicken broth and milk. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, until the broth has thickened.
• Stir in cheese, ham, broccoli, pepper, and salt generously to taste. Heat until cheese is melted and soup is warmed through.
