Homemade Broccoli Cheese Soup

I really love playing around with different recipes.  Yesterday, I looked through a few Broccoli Cheese Soup recipes and compiled one of my own.

This soup was a proud moment for me.  =)

What You'll Need:

1 bag frozen broccoli florets

1 medium onion (rough chop)

4 oz. Cream Cheese

3/4 c. Heavy Whipping Cream

1 c. Chicken Broth (lower sodium)

2 Chicken  Bouillon cubes (lower sodium)

2 cups shredded Cheddar Cheese (give or take)

Salt & Pepper to taste 

Shredded carrots for garnish

What You'll Do:

*In a large pot cook broccoli and chopped onion in salted water, drain. (Save pot)

*Combine broccoli, onion, cream cheese, whipping cream, and 1/4 c. broth in food processor and blend until creamy.

*Pour back into pot.  Add remaining 3/4 c. broth and 2 Bouillons.  Gradually stir in your cheddar.

*Once Bouillons have dissolved and soup is heated thoroughly, serve and garnish with shredded carrots.

ENJOY!
