• 6 Tbsp butter , diced in cubes
• 1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
• 1 large clove garlic , finely minced
• 1/4 cup + 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
• 3 1/4 cups milk (anything but skim), then more to thin if desired
• 1 (14.5 oz can) chicken broth
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 3 cups finely chopped , fresh broccoli florets*
• 8 oz . (2 cups) freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese (medium works fine too), plus more for serving
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste (I used about 1/2 tsp of each, but this will vary depending on the brand of cheeses and your salt/pepper preference).
• Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium high heat. Add in onions and cook, stirring frequently until soft, about 3 minutes. Add in garlic and flour, and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly. While whisking, slowly pour in milk, chicken broth and broccoli. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture begins to gently boil and thicken, then reduce heat to a simmer and allow to cook, stirring very frequently, until broccoli is tender, about 5 - 7 minutes. Stir in cream. Remove from heat, stir in cheddar cheese, mixing until melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm with more cheddar if desired.
