  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • 1 onion diced

  1. Melt the butter in a pot and soften the onion for 4 minutes.
  2. Whisk in the flour and cook 1 minute to make a roux.
  3. Pour in the broth and broccoli, then simmer 12 to 15 minutes until tender.

  5. Lower the heat and stir in the cheddar until melted and smooth, then serve.

Notes

Keep the heat low when adding cheese so it stays silky, not grainy.
