Broccoli Cheese Soup Serves 6

3 cans chicken broth
2 pkgs (16 oz each) frozen cut broccoli
1 small onion, coarsely chopped
1 tsp. bottled minced garlic
1 ½ cups dry milk
½ cup water
1/4 cup flour

Heat broth in large saucepan to boiling. Add broccoli, onion, and garlic. Return to boil. Reduce heat to low; cover. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until broccoli is tender. Remove from heat; cool slightly. Transfer half of vegetable-broth mixture to blender or food processor (in batches, if necessary); cover. Blend until desired consistency. Return to saucepan.

Combine dry milk, water, and flower in medium bowl; mix well. Add some of the broth if necessary. Stir into soup; season with salt and pepper. Heat through. Add 1-2 cups of cheese. Stir over low heat until melted.
