Behold the Power of Cheese

Have you ever met someone that said: " I hate Cheese". I haven't either, but I'm sure they exist somewhere on earth.

Just seeing cheese usually goes along with wanting to eat cheese. Have you ever been in a grocery store in the cheese section looking at all the cheese saying to yourself, "Wow, I'd love to have all these cheeses"

Maybe in cheese heaven 🙂

Broccoli cheese soup

The key to a great Broccoli Cheese Soup is the Roux. A mixer of flour and fat like butter or vegetable oil. The balance between the flour and fat creates the perfect consistency for your soup.  It acts as a thickening agent to get to the right viscosity.

Most times the roux will be equal parts flour to fat. First, start by melting butter or adding your oil then adding the flour little by little. You cook the roux till it starts to smell pleasant and has a nutty aroma. Next, add either chicken stock or vegetable stock. Adding the stock to roux creates one of the Classical French Mother Sauces called Veloute.
