Broccoli Cheese Soup

There is nothing better than eating a lot of cheese while still pretending to eat some vegetables. When I was serving in the Peace Corps in Uganda my mom would be amazing and send me boxes. One of my favorite things that she sent was Bear Creek broccoli and cheese soup. Even though I lived in 125 degree weather the soup was so comforting.

1/2 butter
1 onion chopped
1 package (16oz) frozen broccoli
4 (14.5oz) cans chicken broth
1 lbs velvetta cheese block
2 C milk
1 T garlic powder
2/3 C cornstarch
1 C water


In big pot, melt butter and saute butter. stir in broccoli and cover in chicken broth. Simmer until broccoli is tender, about 10-15 minutes. Reduce heat and stir in cheese cubes. Mix in milk and garlic powder. In small brown stir in cornstarch in water. Stir in cornstarch mixture into soup. Cook until thick.
Top with cheese or green onions.
