6 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. finely chopped onion
5 tbsp. flour (add more for thicker soup)
1 c. chicken broth
2 c. milk
3/4 tsp. salt
Dash of pepper
1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen or fresh chopped broccoli, thawed or
10 oz. fresh cauliflower, chopped very small
6 oz. Velveeta cheese

Microwave:

In large glass bowl; heat butter and onion 1 1/2-2 minutes on high, blend in flour. Gradually add broth, milk, salt and pepper; stirring until smooth.

On medium, heat 7-9 minutes or until soup is slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Add broccoli or cauliflower and Velveeta, puree in blender. Return to bowl and heat 3-4 minutes, stirring once.

Hint: I like to use both cauliflower and broccoli together--even the kids love it.

Makes about 4 servings.
