Soup is good for soul no matter the weather. But during this current deep freeze we are in, it seems even more appropriate. Personally, I am sure I could live just on soup while I know others may not agree that soup is that great. So whether you want a cup of soup with a salad or sandwich or a huge bowl like I do, here is a great recipe for you to try. For those like me, who like a lot of vegetables, broccoli is prominent in this soup. For diabetics, meat eaters, etc, you also have chicken. And cheese is a universally loved ingredient. So you have the perfect makings for a yummy cup or bowl of soup. Give it a try soon!
CHICKEN BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP
1 1/2 lbs fresh broccoli
1 small can chicken breast meat, drained
2 1/2 cups water
1 pint half & half cream
1 lb Velveeta-type cheese
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 cup cornstarch mixed with 1 cup water
Wash broccoli and steam until crisp tender. While broccoli steams, place the half & half and the water in the top of a double boiler. Add the cheese, salt and pepper. Stir the mixture with a whisk while cooking until all the cheese is melted; add the cubed or shredded chicken. Chop the steamed broccoli and add to the cheese mixture. Stir the cornstarch water to blend well; add to the soup mixture, stirring constantly. Heat over simmering water until the soup reaches the desired thickness. Serve with a sandwich, salad, or fresh fruit.
Enjoy!
