I need the recipe. Please include steps and directions(:Whats the recipe for the broccoli cheese soup they serve at applebees?
the broccoli cheese soup that Applebee's serves comes in 20lb frozen bricks frozen and warmed up in a water bath. I would imagine they either have their own commissary, or they get it from Sysco or some other company. It is definitely not homemade, but making your own is better anyway.



1 bunch broccoli, about 1 1/4 pounds, washed and trimmed

2 cups sliced onions

5 tablespoons butter or margarine

7 cups chicken broth, divided

1 teaspoon dried leaf oregano, crumbled

1/4 cup flour

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1/8 teaspoon pepper

1 cup milk

2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese



Cut florets off broccoli and divide into small sections. Simmer in lightly salted water for 2 minutes; drain and immerse in cold water to stop cooking then set aside. Cut stalks into small pieces; place in a large saucepan. Add sliced onions and 3 tablespoons of butter to saucepan; saut茅 over medium low heat for 5 minutes. Add 3 cups chicken broth and oregano to the saucepan; simmer 20 to 30 minutes. Carefully process hot mixture in batches in a blender until smooth. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in saucepan; stir in flour and cook, stirring constantly, until smooth and bubbly. Stir in mustard and pepper. Gradually stir in processed mixture and remaining 4 cups of chicken broth. Continue to cook, stirring, until mixture begins to bubble. Add milk and cheese; stir until smooth and cheese is melted. Add remaining broccoli florets and heat through. This will serve 8.
