Cream of Broccoli Cheddar-Horseradish Soup
1 1/2 cups.- Broccoli( rough chopped or fine)
1/2- medium yellow onion (chopped fine)
1 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 cup-heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 cup of Horseradish White-Cheddar Cheese
1tsp.-Onion powder
1tsp. -salt
3tbsp.- Unsalted butter
1tbsp.-flour
2-3quart sauce pan
Chop broccoli to your preference *( I preferred a rough chop here for aesthetics: to see color of the cream base, I preferred not to have your typical green broccoli cream)
Blanch the broccoli, keep in the cold water until ready to add to base.
Chop onions as directed above. Set aside.
Make a white roux with butter and flour, add more butter if needed to the saucepan.
Add chopped onions, and lightly saute until onions are transparent.Add chicken broth, then simmer for about twenty minutes.
Add drained broccoli and simmer another 20mins, do not let the broccoli turn grey.Whisk in the cheese, then the cream until base is velvety smooth.Heat on a very low heat until base is hot, whisking as needed. And serve immediately.
