Method
 

  1. Melt butter in a large pan with a matching lid.
  2. Once butter is melted, add onion and cool until onion is softened and translucent. Stir occasionally.
  3. Add the potato cubes, chicken broth and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for about 8 minutes or until the potatoes are soft when pierced with a fork.
  4. Stir and add broccoli florets and milk, and bring to a boil. Once brought to a boil, reduce to simmer and cook for about 7 minutes or until broccoli florets are el dente.
  5. In a separate bowl, toss the cheese and flour to make sure the cheese is coated. Slowly add coated cheese to the soup ⅔ cup at a time, allowing the cheese to melt in between each addition.
  6. Season with pepper, add more salt if needed and stir. Serve warm.

Notes

Make sure and use a pot big enough to hold all of the liquid and veggies, no small pots here!
