Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine

  • ¼ cup chopped onion

  • 2 tablespoons flour

  • 2 ½ cups milk

  • ¾ pound VELVEETA®, cut up

  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped broccoli, thawed, drained

  • ⅛ teaspoon pepper

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a large saucepan on medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Add flour; cook 1 minute or until bubbly, stirring constantly.

  2. Stir in milk. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer for 1 minute.

  3. Add remaining ingredients; Velveeta cheese, broccoli, and pepper. Cook until cheese is melted and soup is heated through, stirring occasionally.

To Make in the Microwave:

Place onion and butter in a 2-quart microwaveable casserole dish or bowl. Microwave on high until onion is tender, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add remaining ingredients; mix well. Microwave on high until Velveeta is melted and soup is heated through, 6 to 8 minutes, stirring after 4 minutes.

Recipe Tips

You can substitute frozen chopped spinach, frozen cauliflower (chopped), or frozen asparagus spears (chopped) for broccoli.
