Cheesy Broccoli & Zucchini Soup

I was trying to get the veggie drawer under control and realized we had quite a bit of zucchini and broccoli in there, so thus the soup.  It's turned out to be quite easy.  Hardest part is chopping veggies.

* 2 Zucchini - chopped into bite size pieces
* 2 heads of broccoli -  - chopped into bite size pieces
* 2 medium onions (or one large...whatever you have) - chopped into bite size pieces
* 5 cloves of garlic, minced (we like garlic, you can use less)
* 2 Tbs. Butter
* 3 Tbs. Flour
* 64 ounces beef broth (or chicken broth) - it was two boxes
* 2 cups cheddar cheese

In a large soup pot melt butter.  Add garlic, onion and zucchini.  While that is coooking, chop up broccoli.  Add flour to garlic/onion/zucchini mix and stir well.  Add broccoli and broth.  Bring to a low simmer until broccoli is cooked, about 30 minutes.

When everything is soft, you can either just stir in the cheese and serve, or you can use an immersion blender in the soup (before you add the cheese) to make a smoother soup.

Enjoy all those yummy veggies!
