INGREDIENTS
2 cups low sodium chicken broth 3 cups chopped broccoli (, peeled stems included) 1?2 cup chopped celery 2 tablespoons butter 4 tablespoons flour salt, to taste freshly ground black pepper, , to taste 4 cups low-fat milk (don't use skim, though) 1?2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
DIRECTIONS
In a medium saucepan, bring broth, broccoli (about 1 med. head will yield 3 cups chopped broccoli) and celery to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until broccoli is tender, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat and stir in flour, salt and pepper; cook for 1 minute. With a whisk or wooden spoon, add milk gradually, beating constantly to prevent lumping. (It will thicken like paste at first; keep beating in milk to thin it.) Bring to a boil. If you want a smooth soup, puree broccoli in blender. Now add broccoli mixture (smooth or chunky) into large saucepan with the milk. Remove from heat and stir in cheese. Serve immediately.
