CHICKEN BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP
1 1/2 lbs fresh broccoli
1 small can chicken breast meat, drained
2 1/2 cups water
1 pint half half cream
1 lb Velveeta-type cheese
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 cup cornstarch mixed with 1 cup water
Wash broccoli and steam until crisp tender. While broccoli steams, place the half half and the water in the top of a double boiler. Add the cheese, salt and pepper. Stir the mixture with a whisk while cooking until all the cheese is melted; add the cubed or shredded chicken. Chop the steamed broccoli and add to the cheese mixture. Stir the cornstarch water to blend well; add to the soup mixture, stirring constantly. Heat over simmering water until the soup reaches the desired thickness. Serve with a sandwich, salad, or fresh fruit.
Enjoy!
