Well now, let me tell ya, this here broccoli cheese soup with Velveeta and chicken broth is somethin’ that’ll fill ya right up and warm yer bones. Don’t need no fancy ingredients or nothin’ to make it taste good, just a few simple things from yer kitchen and some patience. So, sit tight and I’ll tell ya how to get it done, nice and easy.
First off, you’ll need a big ol’ pot, somethin’ that can hold a good bit of soup. You don’t want it spillin’ over when you get to stirrin’. Start by heatin’ that pot on medium-high heat. Now, ya gotta make sure it don’t stick, so spray a bit of that nonstick spray in there. If you don’t got that, just use a bit of butter or oil—whatever works.
Now, take yourself one medium onion and chop it up real nice. Don’t need to be perfect, just chop it however you like. Toss that onion in the pot and let it cook for a couple minutes ‘til it starts smellin’ good and softenin’ up. Add a couple cloves of garlic while yer at it, maybe 2 or 3. Let that cook too until it’s all nice and fragrant, shouldn’t take no more than 3 minutes or so.
Once that’s all done, it’s time to add your chicken broth. Don’t go buyin’ any expensive stuff, just get you a good ol’ can of chicken broth from the store. You’ll need about 4 cups. Pour that in with the onions and garlic, stir it up, and then you can add yer broccoli. You don’t need a whole bunch of broccoli, about 4 cups of it should do ya. Don’t be too picky about fresh or frozen, both work fine. If you got frozen, just dump it in there straight from the bag.
Now, bring that whole thing to a boil. Don’t be shy with the heat, but keep an eye on it so it don’t boil over. Once it’s all bubble-bubble, turn the heat down to medium and let it cook for ‘bout 10 minutes. You want that broccoli to get soft but not mushy, so keep an eye on it.
While that’s cookin’, you’ll need to make the cheese part. Get you a block of Velveeta cheese, about 8 ounces. Cut it into chunks so it melts faster. You can’t go wrong with Velveeta for this kind of soup, trust me, it melts all creamy and makes the soup nice and thick. Now, grab a cup of milk, any kind you like, and mix it with a couple tablespoons of flour. This here will help thicken the soup up a bit, and give it that creamy texture. Whisk it together so there ain’t no lumps.
After the broccoli’s soft and ready, pour in the milk and flour mixture into the pot with the broth and broccoli. Stir it well and let it simmer for a few minutes until it all thickens up and looks like a nice creamy soup. Now it’s time to add that Velveeta cheese you cut up earlier. Drop it in there and stir until it’s all melted and smooth.
You can taste it now, see if it needs a little salt or pepper. I always add a bit of both, but it’s up to you. Some folks like it extra cheesy, so you can add more Velveeta if ya feel like it. Just make sure it all melts in real good.
Let it simmer on low for a bit longer, just to make sure everything’s well mixed and all the flavors are comin’ together nice. Once it’s done, you’re ready to eat! I like to serve mine with a slice of bread or crackers, somethin’ to dip in that creamy, cheesy goodness.
Why This Soup’s So Good:
This broccoli cheese soup is creamy, cheesy, and just the right mix of flavors. The Velveeta gives it a rich, smooth texture, and the chicken broth adds a savory depth to the soup. The broccoli is soft but still holds its shape, makin’ every spoonful full of comfort.
Tips:
- If you like it spicier, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or some hot sauce.
- Use fresh broccoli if you want, but frozen works just as well and saves ya some time.
- If you want a thicker soup, just let it cook longer or add a little more flour/milk mix.
- This soup stores real good in the fridge for a couple days, so don’t be afraid to make extra.
That’s all there is to it. This here broccoli cheese soup is quick, easy, and fills ya up just right. Ain’t no need to spend all day cookin’ fancy stuff when a bowl of this makes ya feel so good inside. So, grab yer ingredients, get that pot out, and enjoy yourself some homemade comfort food.
