Broccoli Cheese Soup

Ok...I have been sooo busy the last two weeks! We have a few new family members...which I will blog about later...that have kept me busy! And we were out of town last week also. Anyway...I have been asked by a few of you to post more recipes! So this is for you gals! I think I will try to post one a week. I love to eat...so therefore...I love to cook. Really, it's a hobby! Honestly...I come from a long line of cooks. And we all love to eat as you can tell by our waist lines! LOL!! This recipe is for my small group gals. I made this for our small group on Sunday and they asked me for the recipe. My kids love it!

Broccoli Cheese Soup
4 cups milk
1 stick butter
1/2 cup flour
1 1/2-2 pounds Velveeta ( I just use the big block)
2 bunches of fresh broccoli steamed, tops only

Melt butter in a dutch oven (I call it a big soup pot) Add flour a little at a time-to make a paste. (You might need to add a little more flour if it isn't very thick, I have found if you use real butter you need a little more flour) Mix Well. Add milk, boil, stirring constantly. When milk reaches the desired thickness add cubed velveeta. When the cheese is melted add the broccoli. Heat thru and you may need to add a little more milk before serving. It is super yummy! I like it with Baked potatoes also!!

Enjoy!
