FAST HOMEMADE BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP FOR


SUPER BOWL





1 can family size Cream of Chicken Soup


3 tablespoons grated onion


2 tablespoons butter


2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese


3 cups milk


1 package fresh or frozen broccoli florets, steamed until very tender





You can do this from start to finish in just a few minutes, and it tastes TOTALLY homemade! Good enough for company! We serve in a bread bowl!


In a large pot, saut茅 onion in the butter. Over low heat: Add can of soup (undiluted) to pot and stir.





Add cheese and stir until thoroughly melted. Add milk and whisk until smooth. Add the broccoli and stir. Simmer until bubbly.





This is also even better using a package of mixed broccoli and cauliflower, steamed.





You may add two packages of broccoli if you like it really broccoli-y. I just buy the plastic bag of Mann's broccoli, poke a hole in it, and microwave the bag for 6 minutes to steam it perfectly! Then just dump it in!





After saut茅ing the onion, you can put all the ingredients into a Crock-Pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until bubbly.
Lentil with or without bacon.


Fry a couple of large onions with some finely diced smoked bacon.I snip it up with scissors for speed. Cover the onions and bacon with a layer of lentils to cover. Add stock and chopped carrots(about 4 -5) .Simmer till veg had broken down and lentils are cooked. You can puree the soup. Alternatively you can omit the bacon but it is tasty. You can also use a smoked ham hock to make stock and put in the meaty bits from it. Really warming and moreish.
