Creamy Gouda and Broccoli Soup Recipe

Ingredients

• 0.25 cup butter
• 1 onion, chopped
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 (10.5 ounce) can chicken broth
• 2 cups milk
• 1.5 cups grated Gouda cheese
• 2 cups chopped broccoli
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. In a large pot, melt butter over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion in the melted butter for 5 to 7 minutes, until softened and translucent.
2. Sprinkle flour over the sautéed onion and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 to 3 minutes to create a roux.
3. Pour in the chicken broth and milk. Reduce heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Gradually stir in the shredded Gouda cheese until it's completely melted and smooth.
4. Place the broccoli florets in a microwave-safe dish. Microwave for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp.
5. Stir the cooked broccoli into the Gouda cheese soup.
6. Season the Gouda and broccoli soup with a pinch of nutmeg, salt, and freshly ground black pepper before serving.
