Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbs butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 2 medium carrots peeled and diced
  • 1 large head broccoli cut into florets and thinly sliced
  • 2 tbs garlic minced
  • 2 tbs flour
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 4 cups milk
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese grated
  • 1 tsp Salt and pepper to taste..
  • 1/2 tsp Tabasco sauce to taste optional

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, melt the butter on medium, and add all the vegetables.
  • Cook for about 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all vegetables are softened. Stir in the flour until it coats all the vegetables, then stir in the chicken stock vigorously to keep the flour from clumping.
  • Simmer for a few minutes, then pour a little of soup at a time into a blender, and puree until mostly smooth. You can also use a hand held mixer and mix it right in the pot. Make sure to remove pot from burner first.
  • Bring soup to a simmer again on low heat, and add the milk and cheese.
  • Season with the salt and pepper and a few good shakes of the Tabasco.
