Cream of Broccoli Soup

2 T. butter
1/2 c. chopped onions
2 T. flour
2 1/2 c. chicken broth
salt & pepper
1/2 bag frozen broccoli
1/2 c. cream
shredded cheese

Sauté onions in butter. Add flour and mix until smooth. Add chicken broth, broccoli, and salt & pepper. Bring to a boil until broccoli is hot and soup is thickened slightly. Add cheese and cream and serve.

This recipe could easily be modified to make cream of cauliflower soup or cream of mushroom soup (you would just have to sauté the mushrooms with the onions and probably leave out the cheese) or cream of asparagus soup.
