Cheese And Broccoli Soup

• 1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine
• 1/4 cup flour
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups milk (or 3 c. milk, no half & half)
• 1 cup half-and-half cream
• 1 cup bagged shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 lb processed cheese, cut into smaller cubes (I use Walmart brand Velveeta)
• 1 (16 ounce) bag frozen broccoli, chopped into bite-sized pieces (thawing not necessary)

1. In a large stockpot, melt the butter. When melted, stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes.
2. Add the broth, milk & cream, and salt. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer for 10 minutes.
3. Stir in the cheese and broccoli. Simmer for 10 minutes. Serve.
4. Note: If this is not thick enough for you, make some thickening from cornstarch and water; increase heat to just under boiling and stir in rapidly to prevent lumps.
