Broccoli Soup

1 stick butter

1 1/2 cup Velveeta cheese
1 pkg. chopped broccoli

Melt butter in skillet; add onion. Saute` onion until clear. Add enough flour to thicken. Add milk, broccoli, cheese, salt and pepper to taste. Simmer until bubbly.


You can also decrease the amount of liquid for this and use it as a great baked or steamed potato topping.
