Broccoli Cheese Soup

This has got to be one of my favorite soups. It just hits the spot every time. It makes quite a lot, so if it's just Devin and me, I half the recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

2 quarts water (8 cups)

1/2 Cup parsley

1 head chopped broccoli

1/2 cup chopped onions

1 quart milk (4 cups)

1/2 lb. butter (2 sticks)

1 pint half n half (2 cups)

1 cup flour

1/2 -1 cup grated mild cheddar cheese

3 Tbs Lawry's seasoning salt

1 pound frozen veggies (optional - I have never added these)

DIRECTIONS:

Bring water to boil. Add broccoli, parsley, and onions. Boil 10 minutes. Add milk and half n half. Heat to almost boiling. Be careful not to boil soup after milk has been added. Melt butter and add flour until thick. Stir slowly into soup to thicken. Add cheese, seasoning salt, and frozen veggies. Heat until cheese is melted and soup is nice and hot.
