You will need 10oz of frozen broccoli (florets are better), some butter, a medium onion, flour, 16oz half & half, 14oz chicken broth, and velvetta cheese!
Alright, so I followed the recipe and got the cheaper version of frozen veggies, aka not the steam-n-bag kind. So poke a few holes in the bag. Microwave 5 minutes and then flip and put in for another 4 minutes. Let sit 3 minutes.
Broccoli-Cheese soup
1 (10 oz)
package frozen chopped broccoli
3 tbsp butter
¼ medium
onions, finely chopped
¼ cup flour
1 (16 oz)
carton half-half cream
1 (14 oz) can
chicken broth
1 (8 oz)
package cubed velvetta cheese
·
Punch several holes in broccoli
package and microwave for 5 minutes. Turn package over and microwave additional
4 minutes. Leave in microwave for 3 minutes
·
In large saucepan, melt butter and
sauté onion, but do not brown. Add flour, stir and gradually add cream, chicken
broth, ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper
·
Stir constantly and heat until
mixture is slightly thick. Do Not let mixture come to a boil. Add cheese, stir
and heat until cheese melts. Add cooked broccoli. Serve piping hot. (6-8)
Breadbowls:
There are 2 ways that I have made them, I will start with the most successful first!
You will need a Loaf, or loaves or frozen bread dough, i used rhodes, and it came with 3 loaves. Each loaf will make 2 or 3 bread bowls. After it defrosts, break a loaf into 2 or 3 pieces and roll into balls. Let them rise as the bag says and bake. When they are fresh out of the oven, cut the middle out and make sure you don't hit the bottom. Fill with soup and enjoy!

The second way uses frozen roll dough. It was small pucks of dough. I didn't want to wait the overnight or 2 hours to defrost, so I used the defrost button on my microwave. =) I used about 6 of the small rolls and made them each into a large round roll. As above, rise, bake, cut and enjoy!
