Need a Broccoli and Cheese Soup recipe

Here's my go-to.
Of course the amount of ingredients is dependent on how much soup you will be making but I generally make about 2 quarts worth when I do.
Cut off the florets and cut the bigger pieces down a bit so they fit easily on a soup spoon to eat. Take the heavy stems and strip off the outer hard coat and cut them up in cubes.
1/2 stick butter
4 tbsp. all purpose flour
1 onion diced
3 cloves garlic minced
4 cups broccoli florets
4 cups peeled and cubed stems
1 qt. chicken stock
1 qt. milk
Shredded cheese of choice to taste
Salt and Pepper to taste
Make the blond roux and after just a couple minutes of cooking that, add the onion and cook down for a few minutes then add the garlic to cook down a couple minutes more.
Add the stock, milk and cubed stems and cook all that down until the stems are very tender. Once they are tender, use an immersion blender or food processor to liquify everything.
Add the florets to the soup and cook that down until they are tender to your liking and then add the cheese. Check for salt and pepper and serve.
The cheese will thicken the soup up nicely and if you want it thicker, you can use a bit of water and corn starch mix to thicken it further.

You can always use a bit more flour and butter when making the roux to make it thicker from the start instead of using corn starch at the end.

Wow what a challenging ask....Google is your friend

STFU if you have nothing to add. This is the Food board idiot. People ask for recipes all the time.

I posted a picture of a salad on a FB cooking page, and captioned it, "BLT salad with avocado."
I was a little surprised by the "Recipe please?" I mean, the title. The picture.

I personally don't want to take chances on a Google recipe. I want a tried and true Louisiana recipe. I am sure most here feel that way. We also benefit from others wisdom and pro tips. (Sometimes we also learn that a particular restaurant has an awesome option of what is being asked for)

I add a bit of grated carrot to mine. It provides extra color & texture to the soup.

I love broccoli. I usually just toss in a mix of olive oil, hot pepper flakes, lemon, s&p then layer with some hand shredded parm and broil after roasted. Gonna try this.

I would add a sherry, white wine or even a touch of vinegar to any of these recipes. It pops with the cheese and brings it to the next level. Just my suggestion, but other than that this and MDs recipes look legit.

Why are you even on a forum if you dislike people with similar interests asking each other for suggestions? It must suck living your life

What kind of idiot would come to a food and drink board looking for a recipe? Asking for a broccoli cheese soup recipe should probably be on the Movie/TV Board
