Ready in: 20 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 2

• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1/4 cup butter or margarine
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 3/4 cup chicken broth/stock

Preparation method

Prep: 5 mins | Cook: 15 mins

1. In a saucepan, saute onion in butter until tender.

2. Stir in flour, salt and pepper; cook and stir until smooth and bubbly.

3. Add broth and milk all at once; cook and stir until the mixture boils and thickens.

4. Add broccoli. Simmer, stirring constantly, until heated through. (This is a good place to blend if you like it really smooth.) Remove from the heat and stir in cheese until melted.
