I LOVE FALL!
I love everything about the Fall season. That nip in the air, the earthy smell of leaves as they swirl and dance with the wind and a good bowl of hot, steaming soup! It just feels so comforting as the earth slows down and readies itself for the resting season of winter.

This is a wonderful, rich soup that is just perfect to warm you up on a cold, blustery day.
1 can chicken broth or 3 bouillon cubes and water to make 2 cups
1 1/2 lbs. fresh broccoli (chopped)
1 large onion (diced)
1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/4 cup butter
1/4 tsp. white pepper 2 cups milk (whole milk is best)
1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
Cook broccoli and onions in broth until tender. In a separate pan, melt butter, stir in flour and seasonings. Slowly add milk, cooking and stirring until thickened and bubbly. Add this white sauce to broth base. Add cheese, heat until melted. Serve hot.
Note: Don't bring to a boil just until hot enough to eat.
Happy Fall!
