Panera Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp Butter
• 1 1/2 Onion, White
• 3/4 c Butter
• 3/4 c Flour
• 6 c Bouillon Cube, Chicken
• 3 c Carrot
• Salt to taste
• Pepper, Black to taste
• 3/4 tsp Nutmeg
• 24 oz Cheese, Sharp Cheddar
• Hot Sauce to taste
• Mustard, Dijon to taste
• 6 c Milk, Half and half

Instructions

1. Saute onion in butter. Set aside. Cook melted butter and flour using a whisk over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Stir constantly and slowly add the half-and-half (this is called making a roux). Add the chicken stock whisking all the time. Simmer for 20 minutes.
2. Add the broccoli, carrots and onions. Cook over low heat until the veggies are tender for 20-25 minutes. Add salt and pepper. The soup should be thickened by now. Pour in batches into blender and puree. Return to pot over low heat and add the grated cheese; stir until well blended. Stir in the nutmeg and serve.
