Creamy Broccoli Soup

2 cans cream of potato soup
1 pt. half and half
3/4 lb broccoli
2 TBSP margarine
3 green onions, diced
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 C grated cheddar cheese

Cut broccoli into small pieces. Place in glass bowl with 2 TBSP water. Cover and microwave on HIGH for 5 minutes. Drain. (I just use frozen cut up broccoli and it eliminates this whole step and works wonderfully).

In saucepan, melt margarine over low heat. Add onions and cook for 3 minutes. Add soup, half and half, and broccoli. Heat 4 to 5 minutes. Add bacon and cheese. Heat until cheese is melted.

If soup is too thick, add more milk. If soup becomes too thin, add mixture of melted margarine and flour to thicken.

Serves 4-6 With my family (the 3 of us) we always have plenty of leftovers. Serving in bread bowls makes it even more delicious. Easton loves it!
