Ingredients
-
3 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
-
1 head broccoli, chopped
-
1 head broccoli, finely chopped
-
½ cup shredded carrots
-
6 tablespoons salted butter, cubed
-
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
-
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed
-
2 cups milk
-
½ (8 ounce) package processed cheese food (such as Velveeta®), cubed
Directions
-
Bring chicken broth to a simmer in a large pot. Add both heads of broccoli and carrots to the simmering stock; simmer for 5 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour, 1 tablespoon at a time. Cook and stir until a golden roux forms, about 2 minutes. Slowly add milk, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring continuously. Bring to a boil and cook until a thickened gravy forms, about 2 minutes.
-
Slowly pour onion gravy into the broccoli mixture, stirring continuously. Bring to a simmer. Stir in processed cheese food. Simmer, stirring often, until cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Do not let the soup come to a boil or the cheese could separate.
