Comforting Creamy Broccoli Chedder Soup, Thats MMMM Good!

Now, Don't let the look of this dish scare you. Don't think that its complex because its not! ....I know, I know, It's easier to go out and buy a can of soup and just pop in the microwave and eat it! But, I think that if I can persuade you to try this dish, you will see just how simple it is to make, you will be saying bye-bye to canned or frozen soups, and cooking up your own Soups in no time at all!

Ingredients

1. Two Large Broccoli

2. Cheddar Cheese

3. two cups Heavy Cream

4. Half stick of Unsalted Butter

5. Two large Celery (DE-stringed and chopped)

6. One Cup of dry White Wine

7. Olive Oil

8. Salt & Pepper

9. One and a half cube of Chicken Bullion

10. One Bay Leaf

11. two cups of flour

Directions:

Wash and drain broccoli and chop into pieces. Place to the side. Chop Celery and place to the side as well. Grade two cups of Cheddar cheese and also place to the side.

In a pot, add a quart and a half of water and one and half bullion cube and let simmer together with the bay leaf.

In a separate pot coat the bottom of the pan with olive oil. Once oil has heated add in chopped Broccoli and Celery. Add just a dollop of butter and toss in Oil & Butter until just tender. Remove from Pot and place to the side.

Turn off the fire from underneath the pot. Wipe pot out and add the flour, then start pouring heavy cream until blended together without any lumps. Turn fire on low to medium and keep stirring slowly with a whisk.

***The name of the Game is patience folks. In the beginning you must keep stirring until everything is properly blending, or else you will have a discombobulated mess on your hands! & who wants that??? All you want is your wonderful creamy velvety soup. So just be patient and keep stirring!*****

Slowly start whisking in the butter. Then the Graded Cheddar. Once the Cheddar has become one with the sauce now stir in the Broccoli and Celery. Begin ladling in the stock that is simmering. If at anytime your sauce gets too think just ladle in the stock, but you will eventually want to add all of the stock. Keep whisking, until everything is blended nicely. Season to taste, turn down on very low and let simmer until you are ready to serve.

Serve with Toasted Croutons or alone, and enjoy!
