Soooooo Pathetic!!

Alright, well the good news is that I have officially gotten over myself.  I like my part time non-cooking seasonal job just fine. So since it's chilly and autumn-y where I am and I'm currently eating it- here's a little recipe for broccoli cheese soup: The recipe came from here and is pretty much how I make it, but because I'm an elitist chef-type I don't really write down measurements (sorry).

• 3/4 cup butter
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 9 cups chicken stock
• 9 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons white pepper White pepper sucks. It smells and tastes like a subway tunnel. Use black. No one cares if you see it in the soup.
• 5 cups fresh broccoli florets
• 1 1/2 pounds processed cheese, shredded (okay, FUCK THIS USE REAL CHEESE or we can't be friends. Try a smoked gouda it's yummy and melty.)
• 3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

1. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat, and mix in the flour. Reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Mix in the chicken stock and milk (Do yourself a favor, heat these up first especially the milk it will save you a TON of time on bringing it back up to a boil) about 2 cups at a time mix with a whisk so it doesn't get lumpy, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer about 10 minutes.
2. Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Place the broccoli in the boiling water, and cook 2 minutes, or until just tender. Remove from heat, drain, and set aside.
3. Gradually mix the processed cheese smoked Gouda (or other actual cheese that you like) and Cheddar cheese into the large pot until melted. Mix in the broccoli. Continue cooking about 5 minutes.

There ya go. I love ya.
