Broccoli Cheese Soup even better!

1 can chicken broth (~ 1 3/4 c. of broth)
1 small onion, diced or to taste

1/3 c. flour
1/4 c. butter
Pepper to taste

2 c. milk
1 1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese (the sharper the better for flavor)
1/2 c. shredded Swiss cheese
2 1/2 to 3 c. of broccoli florets, cut then steamed (if you don't like a lot of broccoli you can add less).

Simmer chicken broth and chopped onion for 15-20 minutes in a covered sauce pan, until onions are soft. Heat milk in microwave for 1-2 minutes. Ina separate medium size stockpot, melt butter then add flour and pepper. Cook together for a couple of minutes, then whisk in warmed milk. Stir and heat together on medium-high heat until soup starts to thicken. Next add chicken broth and continue to stir until well blended. Add cheeses and stir until smooth. Add steamed broccoli and serve.
This recipe is from http://sowethinkwecancook.com , it is the best with the fresh sharp cheddar cheese and Swiss cheese. My kids LOVE it, and it's a great way to get them to eat their veggies!
