As for the soup, well, I made a little bit of white sauce, added thyme, pepper, salt, and garlic powder to it. Then I added between 1/4 to 1/3 cup of cheese and let it melt. In a different small saucepan, I cooked about 2 cups of broccoli and 2 Tablespoons of chopped onions in 1 cup chicken broth until they were done. I cut any big pieces of broccoli and mixed the white sauce with the veggies and broth and ended up with what you see in the picture. In the past, I have used a lot of white sauce, but I tried to make this healthier by using the broth that I cooked the veggies in for part of the soup base. The little bit of white sauce was made with 1 Tablespoon of butter and 1 Tablespoon of flour and enough milk (around 1/2 cup) to make it in to a sauce. It turned out well. Because of the thyme, it made it taste better and I could use less white sauce and cheese in it compared to what I have done in the past.
