Broccoli Soup

This is the Broccoli Soup we grew up on.  No idea where Mom got the recipe.  I'll even make this for a quick lunch.

BROCCOLI SOUP

Dissolve 3 chicken boullion cubes in 2 cups hot water.  Add 1 chopped onion, 10 oz (2 cups) broccoli, chopped; cook until vegetables are tender. (I like a rough chop on the broccoli, and a very finely diced onion)

In another pan melt 1/2 stick margarine.  Stir in 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 t dry mustard, a dash of pepper and a dash of salt.  Cook flour mixture for a few minutes.  Turn into a sauce by slowly adding 2 cups milk, whisking until smooth.

Blend together veggies and sauce.  Add 1 c cheddar cheese.  Stir until melted.  Season with more salt and pepper, if necessary.

**If you wanted to make this vegetarian, you could use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock.
