    We're big soup eaters in the Webb household. I love to make this family favorite during the winter months. It helps warm our souls on those cold nights. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

    Ingredients:

    2 tbs butter (for sautéing onion)
    1 medium onion finely chopped
    1 stick of butter
    1/2 C flour
    4 C 1/2 & 1/2 cream
    4 C chicken stock
    2 C carrots julienned
    1 lb broccoli chopped into small bites
    16 oz. shredded sharp cheddar
    Pinch of salt and pepper

    Directions:

    Melt 2 tbs butter in a non stick pot. Add onion and sauté until soft and translucent about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. Melt 1 stick of butter in now empty pot. Add flour slowly, stirring to incorporate until smooth, about 5 minutes. Slowly add half & half and chicken stock to the pot. Continue to stir until smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes or until thickened. Stir in sautéed onions, carrots, and broccoli. Bring to a simmer and cook for 25 minutes. Remove pot from stove top to cool slightly. Slowly stir in cheese until melted through. Serve with crusty bread or a sandwich.

    Note: depending on your preference of texture, you may puree or mash the soup mix before adding cheese.
