Ingredients: 1 1/2 pounds fresh broccoli
1 pint half-and-half (that´s half milk, half cream for the non-US
people, or substitute to your liking)
2 cups water
1 pound pasteurized process cheese spread (like Velveeta)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup cornstarch (cornflour) mixed with 1 cup cold water
Directions: Steam broccoli until tender (can cook in microwave on high power, 6
minutes per pound). Place half-and-half and water in the top of a
double boiler. Add cheese (cut in pieces), salt and pepper. Heat until
all the cheese is melted. Add broccoli. Mix cornstarch and water in a
small bowl. Stir into the cheese mixture in the double boiler, and heat
over simmering water until soup thickens. Makes 10 1 cup servings.
