    Title: Cream Of Broccoli & Cheese Soup
    Categories: Vegetables, Cheese, Poultry
    Yield: 3 Servings

    1 qt Chicken stock
    10 1/2 oz Can cheddar cheese soup
    4 oz Shredded Cheddar cheese
    1 md Onion
    10 oz Box chopped broccoli
    1/4 c Butter
    8 oz Half & half
    Salt & pepper

    In a soup pot, combine the chicken stock, butter,
    half & half, and cheddar cheese soup.

    Let it cook on medium heat, while you prepare the
    vegetables.

    Peel and cut the onion in small wedges.

    Add the the broccoli and the onion to the pot.

    Let it simmer on low/medium for about 20 to 30 mins.

    Stir in the shredded cheese, until well combined.

    Using an immersion blender, blend until semi-smooth,
    leaving small chunks of broccoli and onion, for
    texture.

    Salt and pepper to taste.

    Serve w/crusty bread, toasted if you like.

    UDD NOTES: This is very reminiscent of Panera's
    version of Broccoli-Cheese soup. This was a "head
    recipe" that I made up as I went along. Reading the
    search engine results I see I left out carrot - I may
    add that next go. And I note that others use Mushroom
    Soup or Cream of Celery/Asparagus/Chicken ... all of
    which are interesting. -- 14 January 2021
