Amy's Recipes

1 large or two small heads broccoli
3 cups water
2 cups milk (or 1 1/2 c water, 1/2 c cream)
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup butter
1 t veggie better than bouillon
pinch or shake of garlic powder
1/4 t tabasco sauce
1/4 t salt

optional: 1/4-1/2 cup grated cheese

Chop broccoli into bite-sized pieces. Put water on to boil. In a separate pot, melt butter, add flour and garlic powder and stir until bubbly. Add 1/2 cup of the milk, the veggie better than bouillon and the tabasco sauce and salt. Stir until thickened. Add cheese if desired and stir until melted. Add the rest of the milk, stir until combined and bring to a low bubble. When the water boils, add the broccoli and cook for five minutes. Combine the two pots, simmer until broccoli is as tender as you like, and serve!
