Gouda and Broccoli Soup

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 (10.5 ounce) can chicken broth
• 2 cups milk
• 1 1/2 cups grated Gouda cheese
• 2 cups chopped broccoli
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onion in the melted butter until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.

Sprinkle flour over the onion; continue cooking 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often.

Pour chicken broth and milk into the pot; reduce heat to medium, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir shredded Gouda cheese into the liquid; cook and stir until the cheese melts completely.

Place broccoli into a microwave-safe dish; cook in the microwave until softened, 3 to 5 minutes.

Stir broccoli into the soup.

Season the soup with nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to serve.
