Broccoli and Cheese Soup

This was a recipe that was given to me by a dear friend from church, Doris Moseley, several years ago.

She actually brought by this soup for my family, after my Granny Ford had passed away. She and lots of other ladies from the Church, brought by all sorts of comforting food and goodies.  Her soup certainly made an impression.  It was soooo good.  I just had to ask her for her recipe. And here I am posting it to share with all of you.

She, herself passed away some years ago.  But the memory of her friendship and her kindness live on.

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons of oil or butter
3/4 cup diced onion
6 cups water
4 chicken bouillon cubes
1 (10 oz. ) package of frozen chopped broccoli
1 (8 oz. ) package of egg noodles
5 cups milk
1 pound of Velveeta cheese

Directions:

Saute onions in oil until soft.  Add water and bouillon and bring it to a boil.  Then add the noodles.  Cook the noodles until soft.  Add broccoli and cook it for approximately 3 minutes or until it’s soft.  Then, add the milk and cheese and bring it to a boil.  After it gets to a boil, turn the fire/burner down to low, where the soup will simmer until cheese is melted and soup is thoroughly hot.  Serve hot.  When re-heating do not boil.  Also, soup can be frozen and used later.
