Title: Heather's Cream of Broccoli Soup
Categories: None
Yield: 1 Servings

1/4 c Unsalted butter
1/2 c Flour
1 lg Sweet onion; finely chopped
1 Clove garlic; finely minced
1/2 ga Milk; very scant, (non-fat
-is OK - just use a little
-less)

-diced

Melt butter in the bottom of a heavy soup pan. Add onion and cook over
medium heat until translucent. Add flour and cook, stirring often, until
the flour is thoroughly cooked - usually about five minutes. Add a little
of the milk, stir to incorporate. Keep adding milk until about half is
incorporated. Add broccoli and garlic, then last of milk. Heat without
boiling. Season as desired - I use a few drops of Tabasco, 1 tsp. salt and
1 tsp. pepper.

Variations: Add 1/2 pound (or more) Velveeta cheese, cubed, during final
heating. Substitute Cauliflower for 1/2 or all of the Broccoli Use black
pepper if you don't mind the black specks
