Broccoli Soup

Ingredients

• 1 cup sliced leeks or green onions
• (I use whatever onions on hand)
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• (I use one 12-ounce package)
• 3 tablespoons margarine
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 3 cups chicken stock
• 1 cup broccoli flowerets
• (I use 1 bunch)
• 1 cup light cream (or half and half)
• 1 cup jarlsberg cheese
• (I use 2 cups or so)

Method

In a large saucepan, saute onions and mushrooms in butter till tender. Do not brown. Add flour and cook stirring until bubbly. Remove from heat and gradually blend in chicken stock. Return to heat. Cook stirring until thick and smooth.

over

Note: The method breaks off at "over": the rest is on the back of the sheet, and as far as it can be made out it adds the broccoli, simmers about 15 minutes until the vegetables are tender, then blends the soup and stirs in the cheese until melted.
