Cooking Instructions
- 1
Saute onions in 2 tablespoons of butter until onions is caramelized and looks translucent.
- 2
Add minced garlic to onions and saute 1 minute max while stirring constantly. Remove from heat and set aside.
- 3
In a large soup pot with weighted bottom (if possible so soup doesn't stick) add the other 4 tablespoons of butter, flour, and cook on medium heat for approx. 5 minutes while whisking constantly with wire whip until mixture is thickened. This is an important step. If this mixture doesn't thinking properly, soup will not thicken later in the process.
- 4
Slowly add the chicken stock/broth while whisking constantly.
- 5
Slowly add Half n Half while whisking constantly. Simmer on low temp for about 20 minutes.
- 6
Then add broccolli, carrots, and the onions and garlic mixture you set aside earlier. Also add salt, pepper, and cayenne. Simmer for another 20-25 minutes. By this time, soup should have thickened some. Whisk often to break up skim that forms on top of soup.
- 7
Go ahead and stir in most, but not all of the cheese saving some for garnish. Give cheese a chance to melt. (About 1 minute DO NOT use pre-grated cheese! The flavor is just not there and that's crucial to this soup.
- 8
At this point, go ahead and serve soup into individual bowls and add a little cheese to the top of each bowl. If you have kids, add a few goldfish crackers to peak their interest.

Leftover soup can be kept in air tight containers for 1 week only! Warm in microwave. Enjoy!

This soup has little to it and doesn't take a ton of work, but has really well-developed flavor and is as close as you can get to a real classic soup. I used fresh broccoli for this, but you can use frozen as well. I wouldn't cook it quite as long as the potatoes/onions, though. Frozen tends to take less time.

My daughter made this soup for us one day and it was a big hit. She found this recipe on-line somewhere. It is a thick soup, but you can add more chicken broth and milk if you prefer a thinner consistency. I omit the salt as there is enough in the chicken broth and the cheese. If you don't have swiss cheese, it is also good with just the cheddar cheese!
