Old Fashion Broccoli Swiss Soup
Author: Grandma Linda
Personally, I love soups! To me there is no better lunch or dinner than a good hot bowl of soup. I don’t care if it’s Spring, Summer, Fall or Winter, I enjoy a good bowl of soup. When I came across this recipe while going through my late mother’s recipe collection, it caught my attention because it uses Swiss cheese rather than the usual cheddar. If you, too, enjoy a good bowl of soup, try this recipe. Pair it with a salad, some whole-wheat crackers or a crusty whole-grain bread for a delicious meal!
SWISS BROCCOLI SOUP
This recipe was on an old yellowed newspaper clipping in a box of recipes from my late mother’s estate. I have no idea what newspaper it came from.
1 cup instant nonfat milk
3 tbsps flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp garlic powder
2 1/4 cups water
1 can (10-oz) condensed chicken broth, undiluted
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup chopped green onion
1 pkg (10-oz)frozen chopped broccoli, cooked and drained
1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss Cheese
Combine the dry milk, flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder together in a 3-qt heavy saucepan. Stir in the water and chicken broth, whisking until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil and stir for 1 minute. In another pan, saute onion in butter until tender–about three minutes. Stir the onion/butter and broccoli into the thickened mixture. Remove from the heat and slowly stir in the cheese until all cheese is melted. If necessary, return to a low heat to get cheese melted. Do not boil! Serve immediately.
Enjoy!
