Broccoli / Cheese Soup




Ingredients
Broccoli - 2 to 3 cups
Butter 1 tbsp
Onion -1/2 cup
Garlic- 2 nos
All purpose flour - 1 tbsp
Milk -3/4
Cheddar cheese - 3/4 to 1 cup
Salt & pepper to taste

Method
Wash a bunch of broccoli and cut it into florets. Sprinkle with a 1 tbsp water. Microwave the broccoli for 2-3 minutes, set aside.
Heat the butter in a saucepan. Saute onion and minced garlic in the butter until fragrant. Stir in flour and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add milk and stir to make a sauce.
Now add the cooked broccoli and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil. Turn off the heat. Stir in cheese, salt (remember cheese is salty, so...) and pepper to taste.


Blend the soup using a blender/ food processor. Reheat before serving. Enjoy with some bread sticks.
