Warm up with this delicious, easy-to-make creamy broccoli cheddar soup. Tastes just like Kelsey's and freezes perfectly for a comforting meal any time, especially on a cold winter day.
Saute onions for 2 minutes in a very small amount of olive or vegetable oil, until softened. Add stock, oregano, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Add broccoli and cook until broccoli is almost cooked, about 10 to 15 minutes. Add milk, return soup to a boil.
As soon as it starts to boil, add flour or cornstarch (tip: mix with a little tepid or cool water or milk, to make it smooth, not lumpy). Stir constantly, scraping the bottom of the pot, until the soup thickens.
Once thickened, remove from heat immediately, and stir in half the cheese, melting into the soup.
Sprinkle the second cup of cheese on tops of the bowls of soup.
Enjoy!
