Cheesy Vegetable Soup

Fantastic soup I just threw together recently! This would be great with some crusty French bread!

1 yellow onion finely chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 bunch of fresh broccoli roughly chopped
1 bag of baby carrots
4 potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 1/2 cups of chicken stock/broth
2 tblsp of flour
1 cup of water
2 tsp black pepper
2 cups cheddar cheese
3/4 cup of milk
4 tblsp butter

In a stock pot, sauté garlic, onion and carrots in butter. Add potatoes, pepper and stock. Boil and Cook until potatoes are tender. Add flour to water, then add to soup to thicken. Add milk and broccoli and cook until broccoli is tender. Bring soup to a simmer, stir in cheese.

*add shredded chicken to bulk it up.


You could use the left over soup in a pot pie using the pie crust recipe!
