Log Cabin Restaurant Broccoli Cheddar Soup
One of the most requested soups at the Log Cabin was their broccoli cheddar soup. Since it is my mom's recipe, I thought I would share it here. Enjoy!
Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Ingredients:
4 TB butter
4 TB flour
8 Cups Chicken Stock
1 pound Velveeta cheese
3 Cups Frozen Chopped Broccoli, thawed and drained
Salt and Pepper to taste
Milk if needed to thin
This is easy to make. Basically you make a thin chicken gravy by browning the butter and flour (a roux), adding the chicken broth, and cooking and stirring over medium heat until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble. Cut the Velveeta into chunks so it will melt easily, and add to the broth, stirring often. When completely melted, add the broccoli, salt and pepper and heat through. If too thick, add a little milk to thin. Now if only I had a chunk of Roxanne's home made bread, hot from the oven and covered in butter!
**** Spoke with Mom and she said that sounded about right but she never used a recipe. She said you should steam the broccoli a bit or it won't be tender in the soup. Also, she adds a secret ingredient: a few drops of Tabasco. Hope this helps!

Just one of those days. . .
Jake forgot his Honors English paper.
I forgot to pin Tom's name tag to his shirt. (It's only the second day!)
Drove 20 minutes to Sam's Club; forgot my money. Decided to check out the thrift store with sleeping toddler, who proceeded to wake up and has not napped since.
Dropped. Spilled. Forgot. Everything seems harder than it should be today.
And yet: my boys now sit peacefully watching Ponyo. Dinner, (yellow-eyed beans, roast chicken, cous cous) is almost done and was easy. Lukey surely?!? will go to bead early. Project Runway is new tonight. Teenager is in love and in a good mood.
Life is good.
