Souper Saturday

Well, maybe a better goal for super Saturday would be once a month. Busy busy we are!! I've been doing a little bit of freezer cooking today and this soup recipe is one that I made. It really makes two meals for us if I make some rolls to go with it. It is a really good soup!!!

Broccoli-Cheese Soup

6 cups chicken broth
2(10 oz) package frozen cut broccoli
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup flour
1 cup whipping cream
3 1/2 cups shredded cheese(I use a mix of mozzarella and colby jack)

Combine chicken broth, broccoli and onion in a Dutch oven and bring to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes. Melt butter in a small saucepan and stir in flour until mixture is smooth. Add to the larger pan and continue cooking while stirring, blending well, for about 5 mins. Stir in cream and cheese until cheese melts. I then let it cool and put it in a freezer safe bag. Take it out the night before you want to serve it and then warm it up.

Souper Saturday

I decided to have a soup post every Saturday. I love soup! It goes a long way for get togethers, is usually pretty economic to make and great to freeze for a quick dinner. This one was created by my mom, so the credit goes to her. I've made it several times for our football parties with friends.

Salsa Chicken Soup

2-3 chicken breasts, cooked and cubed
4-6 cups chicken broth
1 cup mild salsa
1 can drained black beans
1/2 cup corn
1/2 cup milk
1/2 box Velveeta, cut up(use coupon here for $1.00 off!)

I just put everything except velveeta and milk in and let simmer for 10 minutes or so, then I add the cheese and milk till it melts. We usually garnish with some sour cream and corn chips.
