Instructions: Melt butter in the bottom of a heavy soup pan. Add onion and cook over medium heat until translucent. Add flour and cook, stirring often, until the flour is thoroughly cooked - usually about five minutes. Add a little of the milk, stir to incorporate. Keep adding milk until about half is incorporated. Add broccoli and garlic, then last of milk. Heat without boiling. Season as desired - I use a few drops of Tabasco, 1 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. pepper.

Variations: Add 1/2 pound (or more) Velveeta cheese, cubed, during final heating. Substitute Cauliflower for 1/2 or all of the Broccoli Use black pepper if you dont mind the black specks
