Ingredients:

Quantity Ingredient
2 tbsp Margarine
1/2 cup Onion, chopped
1/2 cup Celery, chopped
1/2 cup Carrot, chopped
2 tbsp Flour
1/2 tsp Dry mustard
2 cups Chicken broth
4 cups Water
2 cups Broccoli florets
2 cups Milk
2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions:

  1. Sauté Aromatics: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the margarine. Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrot, cooking until softened, about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  2. Add Flour and Mustard: Sprinkle flour and dry mustard over the sautéed vegetables, stirring continuously for a minute or two until well combined and fragrant.

  3. Incorporate Broth and Broccoli: Pour in the chicken broth, then add the broccoli florets. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

  4. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer the chowder for about 10 minutes, or until the broccoli and vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

  5. Blend: Carefully transfer the cooked broccoli mixture to a blender or food processor and process until smooth.

  6. Combine with Milk: Return the blended mixture to the saucepan, then stir in the milk until fully incorporated.

  7. Reheat and Melt Cheese: Over medium heat, bring the chowder back to a gentle boil. Add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese is completely melted and the chowder is smooth and creamy.

  8. Serve: Ladle the Cheesy Broccoli Chowder into bowls and serve hot, garnished with additional shredded cheese or chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy the cozy comfort of this delicious homemade chowder!
