Ingredients:
1 Tbs. butter
1 med. sweet onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp. crushed red pepper (I left that out)
1 (48 oz.) container chicken broth (I used home-made)
2 (12-oz) pkg. fresh broccoli (about 12 cups)
1 (8oz.) pkg. cream cheese, cut into cubes
4 cups chopped, cooked chicken
1 (8oz.) block sharp cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste
2 shredded carrots if desired :)
Directions: Melt butter, saute onion til tender, add garlic (and shredded carrots) and red pepper. Cook 2 minutes. Stir in chicken broth and broccoli. Cover and bring to a boil 10-15 min. Stir in cream cheese. Process with a blender til smooth (we wanted it chunky, so I skipped that step :). Add chicken and shredded cheese. Cook on med-low, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes til cheese is melted. Season with salt and pepper.

Hi Meg,
ReplyDeleteThis recipe sounds quite yummy. Was wondering how much chicken you added to it and also if the other ingredients need to be halved to make a smaller portion of if they already are. Hope that makes sense!
Thanks :)
Thanks for your comment; it made me realize that I had totally left out the chicken in the ingredient list! So sorry! I fixed it :) It calls for 4 cups of chicken, so I cut it in half and used 2 cups instead. And I did halve the other ingredients as well because they made so much. So glad you asked!
