This is normally served on Christmas eve at my home, last year we added it to our Thanksgiving menu and it was such a hit!!!

INGREDIENTS:

1lb. Broccoli

1 1/2 cups chicken broth

1 1/2 cups milk*

1 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

1 1/2 cups grated cheese**

2 tablespoon butter***

salt to taste

DIRECTIONS:

(Directions for four servings)

Pour broth into large pot, bring to a broil

Add broccoli; reduce heat

Simmer uncovered 3 minutes

Cover; cook 10 minutes OR until broccoli is just tender

Remove broccoli with slotted spoon

Chop into bite size pieces

Add milk and pepper to stock

Bring to boil, stirring occasionally

Stir in cheese, butter and broccoli

Heat until chees is melted... DO NOT BOIL

Add salt and pepper to taste

* I use evaporated and whole milk

** I use Velvetta with a little cheddar if avaliable

*** I use Nucoa margerine, I like it better than any other margarine or even butter (this may be a personal taste preference, so if you want to use reall butter, do so)
