Broccoli Cheese Soup

1 can chicken broth (about 1 3/4 cups of broth)

1 small onion, diced

1/3 c. flour

1/4 c. butter

Pepper to taste (I used about 1/2 teaspoon)

2 cups milk

1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese,  sharp or extra sharp

1/2 cup shredded swiss cheese

2 1/2 to 3 cups chopped, lightly steamed or blanched broccoli

Simmer chicken broth and chopped onion for 15-20 minutes in a covered small saucepan, until onions are soft. Heat milk in microwave for 1-2 minutes. In a separate medium-sized stockpot, melt butter then add flour and pepper. Cook together for a couple of minutes, then whisk in warmed milk. Stir and heat together on medium-high heat until soup starts to thicken. Next add chicken broth and continue to stir until well blended. Add cheeses and steamed broccoli. Serve immediately. Serves 4
