*Panera Broccoli Cheddar Soup*

Preparation

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onion in hot butter until translucent, about 5 minutes. Put aside.

Whisk 1/4 c butter / flour together in saucepan over medium-low heat; cooking to flour loses its graininess, adding 1 to 2 tablespoons milk if necessary to prevent flour from burning, 3 to 4 minutes.

Gradually pour the milk into the flour mixture, whisking constantly. Stir the chicken broth into the milk mixture.

Bring to the boil; cook until the flour taste disappears and the mixture thickens, about 20 minutes.

Adding broccoli, carrots, sautéed onion and celery; simmer until vegetables are tender, about 20 mn.

Enjoy !
