Broccoli Chowder Recipe
Ingredients
4 cups fresh broccoli, cut into bite sized pieces
1 cup chicken broth
3 Tablespoons Butter
3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
1½ cups milk
6 ounces processed American cheese, cut into small cubes
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Salt to taste
Instructions
Combine broccoli and broth in microwave-proof container and cook on high for 6-7 minutes or until broccoli is just tender. Melt butter over medium–low heat in a large pot. Add flour and cook for 35-45 seconds. Add milk and cook until mixture is hot and starts to thicken. Add cheese cubes and pepper, and stir over medium heat until cheese melts. Drain cooked broccoli (reserving ½ cup broth). Add broccoli and ½ cup broth to the pot. Stir and heat through but don’t boil. Salt to taste. Serve hot.
