Broccoli Cheese Soup
1 chopped onion
1/2 stick butter (my sister uses 1-2 T. olive oil instead)
2 can chicken broth
1 pkg. frozen chopped broccoli, or 1 bunch chopped fresh
1/2 c. gallo extra dry vermouth (optional 0 I don't add this)
4 oz. fine noodles
2 cups milk or half & half
1/2 lb. velveeta cheese, cubed
In 4 qt. saucepan, saute onion in butter. Add broth and broccoli. Season with pepper (alot). Add vermouth. Bring to a boil. Add noodles--cook till noodles are done. Add milk and cheese until cheese melts.
When I double this, I don't double the butter. I have also used broccoli/cauliflower mix, carrots, potatoes or any left over veggie that I have. Sometimes I'll add extra cheese.
