This recipe is special because my grandson loves Broccoli Cheese Soup, so at life group I asked if anyone had a good recipe. Piper Autery gave me one that she had received from her neighbor Paula. The recipe was on a sticky 2 x 2 note sheet. This is how it was written:
3 c broccoli-cooked
Saute: 1med onion
1carrot shredded
1/4 c margarine
2 cups milk
Hot: Cream Chicken Soup
White Pepper
Melt after heating Velveeta cheese 1lb.



I am not a great cook and do not fly by the seat of my pants when I do cook. I like detailed recipes, so that I don't make a mistake. As you can see this is not very detailed, but I tried it out on the ladies that went to the Sock exchange and they and I thought it was good. I have written the recipe over so that it makes more sense. The white pepper is the trick. It is very strong, so taste before you add more than the recipe calls for. I started out with a 1/4 teaspoon the first time I made it and then added another 1/4 after I tasted it. I found the white pepper at Tom Thumb. Walmart did not carry it.

Personal Notes:
This reminds me that our lives are like this recipe, jumbled, incomplete and without clear instruction. When we add God to our lives, we are less jumbled, more complete and with clear instruction. Our recipe is the Bible, but we must read it all to make the best recipe.
