Broccoli Cheese Soup with Noodles


NOT VEGAN: This recipe was added to this site before I transitioned into vegan recipes.  I left it on this site for reference to the recipe when I cook for family members who are not vegan.

This homemade, cream based soup is a family favorite. It is perfect for cold fall and winter afternoons or evenings.

Ingredients:

1/3 c. chopped onion
½ lb. bacon, cooked
1 can chicken broth
1 c. water
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
½ pkg. egg noodles
2 c. milk
¾ lb. cubed Velveeta (best to use 3/4 package)
½ tsp. salt
1 pkg. frozen broccoli

Directions:
1. Sauté onion and bacon
2. Drain fat
3. Add broth, water, and garlic
4. Bring to a boil
5. Add cooked noodles and salt
6. Simmer
7. Add milk, Velveeta, and broccoli
8. Simmer until cheese is melted – be careful not to burn cheese on bottom of pot

Refrigerate leftovers. Warm on low to medium heat and stir constantly so soup won’t curdle.
