Serves: 6
 
Ingredients
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • ½ Onion
  • ¼ Cup Butter
  • ¼ Cup GF Flour (I use Cup4Cup, you can use regular flour if you like)
  • 1½ Cups Half and Half
  • ½ Cup Low Fat or Nonfat Milk
  • 2 Cups Chicken or Turkey Stock (I used the stock I made after Thanksgiving)
  • 1 Bag Precut Broccoli Florets
  • 1 Bag Matchstick Carrots
  • 2 Cups Grated Cheddar Cheese
  • Salt to Taste
  • Pepper to Taste
Instructions
  1. Chop the Onion. Saute the Onion in a Tablespoon of Butter. (Save even more time by buying pre-chopped onion from Trader Joe's.)
  2. In a medium sauce pan, melt the ¼ Cup Butter and the ¼ Cup Flour, whisking together to make a rue.
  3. Add the Half and Half and the milk and keep whisking constantly.
  4. Add the Stock and let simmer for 7-10 minutes.
  5. Add all Veggies and Cook over Low Heat for 20-25 minutes.
  6. Blend the soup with a hand blender until your desired smoothness is achieved. (I like it a little chunky usually. It makes me really think I'm getting some good veggies when I can see them. ;-) )
  7. Add Salt and Pepper to taste and serve.
