A personal kitchen diary. I try new recipes and make notes on what works and what doesn't. Sometimes I can things, and sometimes I dry herbs. This is the story of my kitchen.

I made Broccoli Cheddar Soup this morning, and I didn’t use a recipe. But it was really good, so I figure I ought to write down what I did.
Olive oil
1 mild yellow onion, chopped
2-3 cups broccoli florets
3 cups chicken stock
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 cups grated cheddar cheese plus some for garnish
Warm olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat and add chopped onion. Salt just a bit, and sauté until onions are softened, but not browned. Add broccoli florets and chicken stock (I used homemade stock), and cook until the broccoli is very tender, using a fork to test. 10-20 minutes (I honestly wasn’t paying attention, I was talking-what a surprise!-and would just check it once in awhile).
Check and season with salt and pepper. If I had to guess, I added 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp of ground black pepper.
Remove from the heat and use an immersion blend to until smooth.
Put back on the heat and added the grated cheese, stirring until melted.
I added a little more cheddar on top when serving.
