Broccoli Cheddar Soup

This is one of the first recipes I tried on this diet.  This is a good one because it's high in fat, it can last you most of the week for lunches or dinners, and cheesiness is goodness.  Eat it with a salad or some fake meat to make a full meal.

Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 small onion, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• fresh or dried thyme, to taste
• 2 cups vegetable stock
• 1 large bunch broccoli, cut into florets.  Include stems if you want.
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 8 oz cheddar cheese, grated
• salt and pepper to taste

1. In a small stock pot or medium sauce pot, over medium-low heat, melt butter.
2. Add onion, garlic, thyme and cook for around 3 minutes or until onions are translucent.
3. Add vegetable stock, stir and bring to a simmer.
4. Add broccoli, salt, and pepper.  Wait for stock to come back to a simmer.
5. Whisk in cream cheese and cheddar cheese.
6. Simmer 5-7 minutes, until all cheese is melted and broccoli is soft.
