I had a can of cheddar cheese soup in my cupboard. I don't why I bought it, but I wanted to use it. So, I searched for various recipes to make this soup using a can of cheddar cheese soup in the recipe. I really couldn't find one that I liked. So, this is my version. We had it for dinner this evening and it got "two thumbs up" from by husband. He's a pretty picky eater, so I felt like I won an "Oscar."

1 large onion, chopped
6 tablespoons flour
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

How To Make broccoli cheese soup

Step 1

Melt oleo/butter in a large pot on medium high heat.

Step 2

Add chopped onions and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently (until translucent).
Step 3

Combine flour, garlic powder and nutmeg together. Stir into onion mixture until combined.
Step 4

Whisk in chicken broth, cheese soup and milk.
Step 5

Microwave frozen broccoli for approx. 4 minutes. The broccoli needs to be just barely tender. If the broccoli pieces are large mince to the size you desire.
Step 6

Stir broccoli pieces into the soup mixture.
Step 7

When heated through, stir in Velveeta cheese just until melted.
Step 8

Season with salt and pepper to your preference.
Step 9

If desired use a stick blender and blend soup to desired consistency. My broccoli was chopped on the small side right out of the bag, so I left it as is and didn't do anything else to it.
Step 10

Enjoy!! We sure did!!!!!!!!!!
