Broccoli Cheese Soup



Ingredients:
1 pkg frozen chopped broccoli
42 oz chicken broth (I just used water to make it vegetarian friendly)
6 Tbsp butter
1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup flour
2 cups milk
1 1/2 lbs Velveeta, cubed
1 pinch ground white pepper

Directions:
In a large pot over medium heat, simmer the broccoli in the broth for 15 minutes. In a separate skillet over medium heat, melt the butter or margarine, add the onions and saute for 5 minutes, or to desired tenderness. Add the flour to the onions and stir well, forming a pasty substance. Gradually add the milk and stir until thick. Add this mixture to the broccoli mixture in the pot and stir well. Then add the cheese, stirring until melted. Finally add the pepper. Be careful not to let the soup boil, or the cheese will break down.
