Recipe Ingredients
- ¼ Cup Butter
- ¼ Cup All-Purpose Flour
- 3 Cups Chicken or Vegetable Stock
- 3 Cups Milk
- ⅓ Teaspoon Salt
- ½ Teaspoon Pepper
- 2 Cups Fresh Broccoli Florets
- 2 Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Directions:
1. Make the Roux
Melt the butter in your Larder & Vine Dutch Oven over medium heat. Add the flour and stir continuously to form a smooth paste. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
2. Create the Base
Gradually whisk in the chicken stock and milk until smooth. Season with salt and white pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Cook the Broccoli
In your Larder & Vine Saucepan, bring salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook for about 2 minutes, or until just tender. Remove from heat, drain well, and set aside.
4. Add the Cheese
Gradually add the cheese to the Dutch Oven, stirring until fully melted and smooth.
5. Combine and Finish
