For this Broccoli Cheese Soup with Chicken I started by cooking some diced onions in butter in a large pot.
I stirred in some flour and allowed it to cook, stirring occasionally.
Then I poured in some milk and water, stirring well.
At this point I dumped in some herb and garlic cream cheese and then increased the heat.
I used a fork to break apart some canned chicken and added it to the soup.
I know broccoli cheese soup doesn’t normally have chicken but I love chicken in soup.
I added broccoli florets and chicken soup base and then left the soup to cook for about fifteen minutes, stirring occasionally.
I removed the soup from the heat and stirred in three cups of grated cheddar cheese.
I used mild cheddar but you could use a stronger cheese if you prefer.
I left the soup to cool for about five minutes before serving.
This delicious broccoli cheddar soup is perfect for warming you up on a cold day.
This soup can be thrown together in about thirty minutes and will serve four as a meal or up to eight as a side.
