WTF. Broccoli & cheese soup

[trippinprincezz13]

Does anyone here have a good recipe for broccoli & cheese soup?  I've been dying to make it, but never tried before and was looking for a good recipe as a basis.  Half the ones I've looked up involve processed cheese which sounds absolutely disgusting, or don't have milk/cream involved, which I thought broccoli & cheese did have.  Urgh. I'm gonna keep routing around and if all else fails mash a bunch of recipes together into something that sounds right, but was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions?

need:

2 pkgs frozen chopped broccoli (you can use fresh but pain in ass)
1 lb shredded cheddar cheese
5 T butter
5 Tbs flour
3 cups chicken stock
3 cups half and half
salt and pepper to taste
pinch of cayenne
1/8 tsp. nutmeg

method:

in a 3 qt pot melt butter, when foam subsides, stir in flour.
cook over low heat stirring constantly until smooth
add heated chicken stock then slowly add half and half (whisk works good)
add cheese a handful at a time melting it as you go
add nutmeg, cayenne, broccoli and then salt n pepper to taste

you can add things like bacon and/or onions if you like.

That sounds pretty good. I think I will experiment with adding onion and possibly some other stuff. Excellent! I love soup...

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

it's good.
my old man makes it all the time.
better w/ freshly grated nutmeg rather than the stuff in a jar/can.
goes well w/ a nice baguette

My mom makes a killer soup, it's the same recipe they use at the Bay Area Renaissance Festival (Half the family worked there for a while). I'll have to bother her for it.

I've had luck using a mix for the basic soup, and then adding extra cheese, a little garlic MOAr veggies, etc.
It's very good served with a chicken dish, and is awesome to pour over leftovers.

Bread bowl or GTFO.

I will report back whether or not it solves any problems.
