Crochet Me Crazy

Well, I had plans to post my finished sock monkey hat tonight but today just got away from me! I never got the picture taken and now I'm sooo tired!

Well, how about a recipe instead? This is a recipe I found on Pinterest and I've made it several times now. It's a new favorite soup recipe! We all love it and I LOVE it because it's super easy to make!

Here's the original recipe link:
Mangio da Sola: Broccoli Cheddar Soup
I made a few changes and here is the recipe with my changes...
Broccoli Cheddar Soup

* 1/4 cup butter
* 1/2 chopped onion
* 1 clove garlic
* 1/4 cup flour
* 1 cup half-and-half
* 1 cup milk
* 2 cups chicken stock (I used bouillon cubes + boiling water)
* 16 oz bag frozen broccoli cuts
* 1/2 cup carrot, shredded and chopped (I didn't measure, I just added it for color)
* 1/4 tsp nutmeg
* 8 ounces grated sharp cheddar cheese
* 4 ounces Velveeta cheese
* Salt and pepper to taste


Sauté the onion (and garlic) in the butter over medium heat. Add in the flour, stirring constantly. Add in the half and half, milk, and chicken stock. Bring to almost a boil.
Add broccoli and carrots. Simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes or until the broccoli is done.

Season the soup with the salt, pepper, & nutmeg. Stir in the cheeses and simmer while stirring until the cheeses are melted!
