Broccoli Cauliflower Soup

This is my Moms Broccoli Soup recipe that I make with half Broccoli and half Cauliflower. It is one of those comforting foods that I love to make when it is cold or rainy or snowy or I just have broccoli and cauliflower that I need to take care of before they walk out of my fridge on their own.

Broccoli Cauliflower Soup

1 ½ Lbs Broccoli, Cauliflower, or half and half
2 Tbsp or 6 Cubes Chicken Bouillon
½ Cube Butter
1 Small Onion or 1/4 Cup Dry Chopped Onion
3/4 Cup Flour
2 Cups Milk
1 Large Can Evaporated Milk
Combine in a large stockpot; 2 cups water, boullion, broccoli, and/or cauliflower. Bring to a simmer and cook until Barely tender, about 5 minutes. In another pot saute ½ cube of butter and the small onion until the onion is translucent, if using onion flakes just mix until the butter is melted. Take it of the heat and whisk in 3/4 cup flour. When well combined slowly whisk in 2 cups milk and evaporated milk until smooth. Cook on low heat until the mixture bubbles and thickens. Add the flour mixture to the broccoli-cauliflower mixture and heat. DO NOT boil or it will curdle. If it is too thick you can add a little more milk. Enjoy!
