As requested:
4 to 6 small broccoli heads, cleaned and cut up, can include stems
1 onion, chopped
1 big handful baby carrots, shredded or rough chopped (or any regular carrots)
1 box low fat chicken stock (I used Kirkland)
1T Better Than Bouillon Chicken Stock (or whatever else you might have)
2 cups water
1 can/bottle of beer (I used Sam Adams, whatever you have on hand is fine)
2 bay leaves
1 tsp dried thyme
1/4 lb Velveeta, chunked
2 cups cheap shredded sharp cheddar
Shake of hot sauce (optional)
I roasted the cut up broccoli on a sheet pan after tossing it with olive oil and salt and pepper at 450° for 20 minutes, or until some of it turned crusty brown. Put into a big pot along with the chicken broth, onion, chopped carrots, water, BTB, bay leaves, and thyme. Simmer for awhile on stovetop.
Add in Velveeta, turn heat to low. Pour in beer. Add sharp shredded cheddar. Stir a lot. Take out bay leaves. Salt and pepper to taste. Shake of hot sauce if you like.
I used the boat motor just enough to leave the soup slightly chunky.
This is as best as I can remember!
