Here is my own Creamy Cheesey Broccoli and Cauliflower soup recipe I am making for dinner tonight! I thought I would share with you all!!! Let me know if you try it!!!!

Ingredients:

3 tbs butter
1 medium sized onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely diced
3 cans chicken broth (I use my homemade chicken stock)
1 head of broccoli
1 head of cauliflower
Salt and pepper
2 cups of grated cheese
1 tbsp flour
1 1/2 cup of 2% milk or half & half
 
Directions: 
  1. Cut broccoli and cauliflower into florets and boil in chicken stock until al dente (soft but still firm), about 15 minutes. (You may need to add a little water to make sure there is enough liquid for your vegetables to cook)
  1. In a large saucepan, heat butter over a medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft and golden. Add 1 tbsp flour to butter and onion mixture make a rue. Once the rue is thick add cream to mixture slowly, while whisking mixture together.
  1. Using an electric stick blender, blend half of the broccoli/cauliflower mixture until smooth. Pour mixture into the cream mixture, along with the remainder of the whole floret mixture. (You may need to add a little more chicken stock at this time if you want a larger batch of soup)
  2. Turn soup down to a low simmer and add the cheese  and season to taste.
