Broccoli Cheddar Soup

This soup was delicious and really easy to make. It only makes enough for about 2 or 3 people, depending on how much you eat. If you are cooking for a larger amount of people, double it.
Ingredients:

• 1 medium bunch of broccoli, coarsely chopped (4 cups)
• 5 tsp. cornstarch
• 1-1/2 C. milk
• 1 C. chicken broth
• 1 TBSP. butter
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp pepper
• 1 C. shredded cheddar cheese
• dash of paprika

You can also put in  1/8 tsp ground nutmeg. I didn’t because I hate nutmeg in anything except desserts.
Directions:

1. In a saucepan, bring 1 inch of water to a boil. Place broccoli in a steamer basket over the water. Cover and steam for 5-8 minutes or until crisp-tender. Or just steam it in a steamer.
2. Meanwhile, in another saucepan, combine the cornstarch, milk, and broth until smooth. After mixing it together, bring it to a boil and cook for about 2 minutes or until thickened.
3. Stir in the butter,salt, pepper. Reduce hat. Add cheese and broccoli. Heat just until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with paprika.
