Cream of Broccoli Soup

When we lived in Springville our ward had a dinner party where you go house to house for different courses. My friend Dawn Shiley gave me this recipe after we went to her house and I absolutely loved it.

1 bunch broccoli, chopped
2 (or more) small onions, chopped
1 cup water
4 cups medium white sauce
1 cup (or more) milk (optional)
2 cups cheese, grated

Bring broccoli, onion and water to a boil. Simmer until just tender, puree the broccoli mixture in a blender or food processor. Add more water, if needed, to make 4 cups. Stir in the white sauce; heat the soup to boiling. Turn down the heat and add the cheese. Stir the soup until the cheese is melted.

White Sauce
1/2 cup butter or margarine1/2 cup flour4 cups milksalt and pepperMelt the butter and stir in the flour. Add the salk and pepper to taste. Remove from the heat and gradually stir in milk. Cook over medium heat until thickened, stirring constantly.
