Friday Recipe

I love broccoli...and cheese. So naturally broccoli cheese soup is a favorite. And even though it's getting warmer, well some days are warmer than -20 wind chill, soup is great for a cold winter's night.

Ingredients
1/2 cup butter
1 onion, chopped
1 (16 ounce) package frozen chopped broccoli
4 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 (1 pound) loaf processed cheese food, cubed
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2/3 cup cornstarch
1 cup water

Directions
1.In a stockpot, melt butter over medium heat. Cook onion in butter until softened. Stir in broccoli, and cover with chicken broth. Simmer until broccoli is tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
2.Reduce heat, and stir in cheese cubes until melted. Mix in milk and garlic powder.
3.In a small bowl, stir cornstarch into water until dissolved. Stir into soup; cook, stirring frequently, until thick.
