Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion diced
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 cups diced cooked ham
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Cook the onion for 4 minutes.
  2. Stir in flour and garlic powder. Cook for 1 minute.
  3. Slowly whisk in broth and milk. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add broccoli and ham. Cook for 8–10 minutes, until the broccoli softens.
  5. Lower the heat and stir in cheddar until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. I serve it with crackers while someone inevitably picks out the onions.
