I made this last night and I must say..... YUMMY!!!!!!!
I started by taking a sourdough loaf and hollowed it out with a knife. I then cut those interior pieces into slices for dipping.
In a small saute pan I took 1 tablespoon of butter and 1/2 diced sweet onion. I sauteed until golden and set aside.
In a large pot or dutch oven I melted 1/4 cup of butter and then whisked in 1/4 cup of flour. Stirring constantly. After about 2 min. of whisking, I added 2 cups of both fat free 1/2 and 1/2 cream and chicken stock. Let simmer on low for 20 min.
I then added 2 heads of chopped broccoli florets and 1 julienned carrot(I used parsnip), and the onions. Cook over low heat for 20-25 min. Add salt, pepper and a dash of nutmeg for taste.
Then I added 3 cups of shredded cheese( I used 2 cups of sharp cheddar, 1 cup mozzarella) and 2 tablespoons of processed Velveeta. Once the cheese melts, add to the bread bowl and wwwwaaalllllaahhh! Happy eating y'all!
