Creamy Broccoli, Cauliflower, and Cheddar Soup

Gotta love this classic!  I just sort of winged this one.  It's quite easy and straight forward.  And so delicious with some saltine crackers or crusty bread for dipping!  Enjoy!

Ingredients:

6 cups of chicken broth
1 onion, chopped
2 lbs total of broccoli and cauliflower, chopped into small florets
3 cloves of garlic, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup all purpose flour
3/4  cup milk
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
Chopped scallions for garnish

Directions:

In a large pot, combine chicken broth, onion, garlic, cauliflower and broccoli. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Continue to simmer until vegetables are tender. Add salt and pepper to taste.
In a bowl, combine flour and milk. Whisk until there are no lumps. Add mixture to soup, stirring continuously as soup thickens. Blend with an immersion blender, or in batches in a blender with the vent open but covered by a kitchen towel, until smooth. Stir in Cheddar cheese until completely melted.  Garnish with chopped scallions.
Enjoy!
