Broccoli Cheese Soup

This is a quick easy soup and makes a delicious lunch or addition to dinner!  Makes about 4 or 5 medium sized bowls.

1/4 C Butter or Margarine
1/4 C flour
2 1/2 C Milk
2 1/2 C Chicken broth
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 C cheese (mix of cheddar and Velveeta)
1 C Broccoli

Cook broccoli (I mash slightly with potato masher)
Melt butter in a large saucepan
Mix in flour and cook, stirring constantly until thick and bubbly
Mix in milk, chicken broth, salt and pepper
Bring to a boil, then simmer about 10 minutes, sauce should thicken
Mix in cheese, stir until blended ( I use mostly 2% cheddar and then about 3 slices of processed cheese slices)
Mix in cooked broccoli
Cook about another 5 minutes

NOTE: If you use dry chicken broth (cubes or powder) in water to make broth, taste before adding any salt.
