Nothing says comfort more than a bowl of homemade soup. Enjoy a steaming bowl of this creamy soup today!
1 stalk fresh broccoli, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 carrots, thinly sliced
2 cups milk
3 cups chicken broth, divided use
1/2 cup cornstarch
salt and pepper to taste
1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 green onions, thinly sliced
Combine broccoli and carrots in a saucepan with 3/4 cup water. Bring water to a boil. Cover and reduce heat; cook on medium heat for 5 minutes. [Instead, you can steam vegetables in the microwave (in a microwave-safe dish) with 1/2 cup water, covered, for 2 to 3 minutes.] Drain away water; reserve vegetables. In a heavy saucepan, combine milk and 2 cups of the chicken broth. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and remaining 1 cup chicken broth until cornstarch is dissolved. Add this mixture to the saucepan along with salt and pepper to taste and nutmeg. Bring mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until mixture is thickened, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low and add reserved broccoli and carrots. Add shredded cheddar cheese and green onions, and cook on medium-low for 2 to 3 minutes, or until cheese is melted and mixture is warmed through, stirring occasionally.
