-1 med onion
-tbsp butter
-tbsp flour
-2.5 cups stock (I use vegetable, but you could use beef or chicken)
-1 large potato
-1 cup shredded cheddar
-Broccoli (about 1lb?)
-pepper/salt to taste

Melt butter in pan, add onion cook about 5 minutes or until they start to soften. Add flour and stir until it's absorbed. In a pot bring stock to a boil. Add chopped potato to stock, and onion when ready. When potato is cooked, mash into the stock. Add broccoli until cooked. Turn off heat and stir in cheese, stirring until it's all melted. Add pepper, and salt if needed.

I sometimes will add other things too, like cauliflower and shredded carrot.

2 bunches of broccoli
6 cups of water
1/2 cup chicken soup base
pepper
1 litre milk( the higher the fat content the richer the soup, I use 2%)
1/2 cup veg oil
1/3 cup flour
grated Cheddar.

In soup pot bring broccoli, water and soup base to boil and simmer until Broccoli can be mashed with a whisk..
Whisk until broccoli is broke up
add pepper and milk

Bring to a boil again, make a rue with the flour and oil and thicken the soup..
the more you add the thicker it gets, if you need to thin it out add a little water..

Place in a bowl and sprinkle with shredded cheese...

This is a basic creamed soup recipe that can be used with cauliflower, asparagus, leeks, potato's etc...
Cheese is optional
