• 4 cups broccoli, chopped
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 carrot, grated
• 3 tbsp butter
• 3 tbsp flour
• 3 cups broth
• 1 cup milk
• 2 cups shredded cheddar

Steps

1. Cook the onion in butter 5 minutes, then stir in flour for 1 minute.
2. Whisk in broth and milk and bring to a simmer.
3. Add broccoli and carrot and cook 12-15 minutes until tender.
4. Lower the heat, stir in cheese a handful at a time until melted. Don't boil.

Swaps

• Water plus a bouillon cube or a spoon of soy sauce can replace broth.
• Any good melting cheese works: Monterey Jack, mozzarella, Colby or a blend.
