Easy Cheesy Broccoli Soup

Who would think something so easy could taste so good. Use the broccoli stems from the Chicken Cordon Bleu if you saved them. Otherwise, use 2 packages of chopped broccoli.


Ingredients:

• 1 small package frozen chopped broccoli
• 1 onion, chopped
• Stems from one head of broccoli (they may be leftover from the Chicken Cordon Bleu)
• 1 large can of cream of mushroom soup
• 2 cans of cheddar cheese soup
• 1 can of evaporated skim milk
• 1 can of chicken or vegetable broth
• ½ cup of grated cheddar cheese
• Fresh baguette or sourdough bread.

How to Make Easy Cheesy Broccoli Soup
Steam the broccoli stems and the onion in the microwave till tender.
Place the chopped broccoli, the cooked onion and stems, and the broth in the blender.
Blend until mostly smooth.
Put the blended ingredients in a soup pot.
Add the 3 cans of soup and the can of evaporated skim milk.
Heat through till warm. Top with grated cheddar cheese.
Serve with a fresh baguette or sourdough bread.
