Broccoli Cheese Soup

I wanted to try a Broccoli Cheese Soup that didn't have processed cheese in it. This recipe from My Kitchen Cafe was really good and I love the taste of the swiss cheese in it.

(I had already eaten half my bowl when I thought to take a picture and Ashton decided to help me stir the cheese in as I took the picture)

Broccoli Cheese Soup

1 can chicken broth (about 1 3/4 cups of broth)
1 small onion, diced

1/3 c. flour
1/4 c. butter
Pepper to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon)

2 c. milk
1 1/2 c. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 c. shredded swiss cheese
3 c. steamed chopped broccoli florets

Simmer chicken broth and chopped onion for 15-20 minutes in a covered small saucepan, until onions are soft. Heat milk in microwave for 1-2 minutes. In a separate medium-sized stockpot, melt butter then add flour and pepper. Cook together for a couple of minutes, then whisk in warmed milk. Stir and heat together on medium-high heat until soup starts to thicken. Next add chicken broth and continue to stir until well blended. Add cheeses and steamed broccoli. Serve immediately.
