Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 medium onion chopped
1 lb chopped fresh broccoli
6 cups chicken broth
1 pound processed cheese such as Velveeta, cubed
1/2 cup cheddar cheese
2 cups milk
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 cup water
2/3 cup cornstarch

Instructions

In a large heavy bottomed soup pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, 3-5 minutes.
Stir in the chopped broccoli. Add the chicken broth. Simmer until the broccoli is tender, 10-15 minutes.
Reduce the heat and stir in the cheese cubes until they are melted. (I will sometimes use a whisk at this point to make sure the cheese melts in completely.) Stir in the cheddar cheese until melted. Then stir in the milk and the garlic powder.
In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and the water until the cornstarch is dissolved. Stir the mixture into the soup. Stir until the soup is thickened.
Serve warm.
