Unlike a lot of homemade soups that keep you in the kitchen for hours, this one is quick and doesn't require a lot of special ingredients. Very hearty and filling. Other vegetables can be substituted for the broccoli if you like.

How To Make ellen's super broccoli soup

  • 1
    Cook broccoli 3 minutes. Put in blender to chop fine & drain off liquid. (I skip this part because I like the broccoli a little chunkier.)
  • 2
    In a large saucepan, melt butter. Add onions, stir, and add flour. Blend and add milk, stirring until thick.
  • 3
    Add the broccoli, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and cheese. Heat until cheese melts. Serve with crackers or warm bread.
  • 4
    If you get tired of broccoli, you may substitute cauliflower, spinach, corn, even asparagus. Use your imagination!
