Broccoli Cheddar Soup

16 oz frozen broccoli (can also use broccoli/cauliflower mix)
2 cups boiling water
½ cup butter
½ cup flour
6 cups milk
4 chicken bouillon cubes
¾ tsp pepper
8oz jar processed cheese


Add broccoli to water, bring to a boil again. Reduce heat. Cover. Simmer for 5 minutes. Turn off stove top. In a large pot melt butter and stir in flour until smooth. Cook for 1 minute. Stir constantly. Stir in milk gradually add bouillon. Cover over medium heat stirring constantly until thick. Add undrained broccoli and pepper. Simmer 20 min (this is when you can add it to the crock pot) Stir in cheese (I’d do that the last ½ hour before eating…for best…but you can do it at this point too.) Stir until blended. Simmer about 10 minutes.
