lastcraving Okay, so I did my broccoli and cheddar soup before, so now it's time for my broccoli and pasta soup. They're vaguely similar, but I like the extra flavor in this one.
Ingredients:
In large saucepan or Dutch oven over high heat, bring water to boil. Add bouillion, pasta, and broccoli. Allow to cook according to pasta's package directions. (About 11 minutes for macaroni.)
While the pasta mixture is cooking, in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add all purpose flour to make a roux. Add onion powder and garlic powder and stir until smooth.
Add Cheddar cheese and pepper (if desired), and stir until smooth. Spoon over about half a cup of broth from your other pot (with the bouillion) and stir until smooth.
When pasta mixture is finished cooking, reduce heat to low. Add cheese mixture and stir until soup is well mixed. Serve hot with additional Cheddar cheese on top.
Can be added:
Chopped ham cubes can also be added to this, but cut back somewhat on the macaroni if you do this. Also, diced green onions is a good source of additional flavor; add with Cheddar cheese to serve.
Ingredients:
- 2 Tbsp butter or margarine
- 2 Tbsp all purpose flour
- 1 cup sharp Cheddar Cheese, plus 1/4 cup for sprinkling on top of soup
- 2 Tbsp onion powder
- 2 Tbsp garlic powder
- 1 cup dry macaroni noodles (or other small shaped pasta)
- 1 cup frozen broccoli
- 1 vegetable bouillion cube
- 5 cups water
- Pepper to taste
