Broccoli Cheese Soup

I adapted the recipe a bit from the one that is here.

Ingredients

2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped broccoli

4 cups chicken broth

3 tablespoons butter

1/2 onion, chopped

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 cups milk

8 oz processed cheese food (eg. Velveeta), cubed

4 oz or more extra sharp cheddar cheese, cubed

salt to taste

Directions

In a large pot over medium heat, simmer the broccoli in the broth for 15 minutes. In a separate skillet over medium heat, melt the butter, add the onions and saute for 5 minutes, or to desired tenderness.

Add the flour to the onions and stir well, forming a pasty substance. Gradually add the milk and whisk until thick. Add this mixture to the broccoli mixture in the pot and stir well. Then add the cheese, stirring until melted. Finally, add the salt. (Note: Be careful not to let the soup boil, or the cheese will break down.)
