Directions:
Peel outer edges of broccoli stalks and chop, reserving 1 cup small broccoli florets. Heat chicken broth, broccoli stalks/florets, onion and oregano to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer until broccoli is tender.

While soup simmers, prepare cheese sauce in small saucepan. Blend flour into butter until smooth, cooking 1 minute. Gradually blend in milk, stirring with a whisk over medium heat until thickened; blend in cheese until melted.

After broccoli is tender, puree soup in blender and return to soup pot. Add cheese sauce and combine. Steam reserved 1 cup broccoli florets about 5 minutes and add to soup just before serving. Add salt, to taste.

Personal Notes:
Another Sue Gregg recipe from Soups & Muffins. Brendan loves this soup (he thinks it's Split Pea Soup and since he doesn't like broccoli I don't really correct him as long as he's eating it). I usually don't use the full amount of cheese and it's still great.
