3 cups water
1 T. chicken base
14 oz. broccoli cuts, frozen
1/3 cup diced onion
1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup flour

3/4 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. seasoned salt
1/8 tsp. coarse pepper
1 pinch nutmeg
Directions
Heat water in saucepan. Add chicken base and whisk to dissolve. Add salts, pepper, and nutmeg.

Add broccoli cuts and onion and simmer for 10 minutes or until vegetables are very tender.
Melt butter in separate saucepan. Add flour to butter, whisking to combine.
Add to broccoli mixture. Whisk until smooth.
Add milk to soup. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil.
