Ingredients:
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 4 slices process American cheese
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 4 1/2 cups broccoli florets

- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions:
-
Combine chicken broth, water, half-and-half, process American cheese, flour, diced onion, and black pepper in a large soup pot.
-
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring constantly to ensure the cheese melts evenly into the broth and the flour is well incorporated, forming a smooth base for the soup.
-
Reduce the heat to low to maintain a simmer, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Add the broccoli florets to the simmering soup, stirring gently to submerge them into the creamy mixture.
-
Simmer the soup for approximately 15 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender yet still retains a slight crunch, ensuring it’s cooked to perfection without becoming mushy.
-
Pour the soup into a large soup bowl, ready to be served piping hot, and garnish with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese and freshly chopped parsley.
