SUSAN BROCCOLI RECIPES

Steps:

• At least 3-4 hours before mealtime, combine the sugar, mayo and red wine vinegar. Combine the remaining ingredients. Pour dressing over the salad 30 minutes before serving.
• You can add other items, such as purple onion, raisins, sesame seeds, or anything else you desire. There is enough dressing to add a few more things. Or you could add some cauliflower florets...
• Recipe came from a Cowboy Cookbook I got a long time ago, and is really fantastic!

Steps:

• Heat the butter or oil (I use butter) in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring often, until softened and slightly translucent, about 4 minutes.
• Stir in mushrooms, onion powder, salt, thyme, and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the mushroom juices are almost evaporated, 3-5 minutes.
• Sprinkle the flour over the mixture; stir to coat. Add milk and sherry and bring to a simmer, stirring often.
• Add the chicken broth or cooking liquid and the broccoli and return to a simmer. Cook, stirring, until heated through, about 1 minute. Add more broth if you like thinner soup.
• Stir in sour cream and cheese if used. This is now ready for serving, or you may pack in containers and freeze. Serve topped with shredded cheddar cheese if desired.
