1/2 cup butter
1/4 onion, chopped
1 (16 ounce) chopped broccoli (from my garden:)

4 oz cream cheese
1-2 cups sharp cheddar, shredded (depending on how "cheesy" you want it)
1 TBS garlic powder
In a stockpot, melt butter over medium heat. Cook onion in butter until softened. Stir in broccoli, and cover with chicken broth. Simmer until broccoli is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce heat, and stir in cheeses until melted. Mix in garlic powder. Enjoy! Serves 6
