Broccoli Cheese Soup

Simmer chicken broth and chopped onion in a covered saucepan for 15 minutes or until onions are soft. (Because I just used dehydrated onions, it didn’t have to heat so long).

Put the milk into a microwave safe bowl. Heat the milk in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes.

In a large stockpot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the flour and pepper, whisk and cook together for a couple of minutes. Whisk in warmed milk. Continue to stir and cook until the soup starts to thicken. Next add the hot chicken broth and continue to stir until well blended. Add the cheeses and steamed broccoli and heat through.
