You forgot the people that don’t look at him sideways - they are also classed as “bullies”

And the Broccoli-Cheese Soup. The recipe was originally my grandmother's, and she didn't write it as precisely as I would like. I've made some improvements, and included a variation at the end.  😋

Broccoli-Cheese Soup

Ingredients

2 - 3 cups of fresh Broccoli florets

1 white onion, finely diced

3 large carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch rounds

1/2 cup of flour

4 tbsp of butter

1 and 1/2 cups of milk

4 cups of low-sodium chicken broth

2 cups of grated cheese (I use half Cheddar, half Colby Jack)

Salt and Pepper, to taste

Optional: Dijon Mustard and Cholula hot sauce, to taste

 

Preparation

1. Over medium heat, saute the carrots and onion in butter, until onions are translucent. Add the broccoli and saute longer, about five minutes total.

2. Add the flour and stir well, scraping the corners of the pot to prevent scorching. Cook until flour starts to smell nutty, then add the chicken stock. Cook until the broccoli and carrots are tender, then add the milk.

3. Remove the pan from the burner and add the cheese, stirring in small amounts. Add salt, pepper, mustard, and hot sauce.

Variation:

For the vegetables, use 1 white onion, 2 cups of broccoli, 3 carrots, and 4 potatoes, peeled and finely diced. Also, add 5 oz of diced ham with the chicken stock. (The ham will release water and salt as it cooks, so adjust seasonings accordingly.)

 

Hi Page!  Love ya my friend for sharing these.  The pie is bookmarked on my browser in my recipe folder.  The soup is now on a Page document in my desktop folder.  I'll try these soon and let you know how I did.  It would seem we have much the same cooking style, take a recipe and change it.

And why should they believe someone who only began watching their series just this year over, me who's been watching for three years?  I'm more credible than you.  

There's a lot of the Drewth in that statement.  Hi Drew! 

[raven1]

Wow Spike!   You're really an expert at getting Drewth on demand!  Have a great start to the week.

I'm the charismatic leader of La Résistance, an underdog rebellion fighting against an evil empire.  You are the head of the evil empire and you lie all the time.  Yeah, I'm more credible than you.

Hi Clo!   Good idea in case there's a criminal trial.  Drew's comment sounds like he wants to use kidnapping and coercion to get his way again.

Hi Dugh!

How do you figure that? 

Hmm think Drew lives in the reverse world where whatever comes out of his mouth means the opposite
