Creamy Broccoli Cheese Soup

I'm on a roll, folks!  If it weren't for Pinterest, I'd say I'm a Paula Deen in the making.  I was craving soup last week, and pinned a random recipe for Broccoli Cheese Soup.  It sounded simple enough, so I bought the ingredients (only five of them!) this weekend and made it tonight.  Oh.my.word.  It far surpassed my expectations and is in fact, the BEST broccoli cheese soup I have ever tasted.  It's just perfect.  I would go as far to say it blows Panera out of the water and would compete with any fancy schmancy restaurants out there.  If you loved my honey chicken, you won't want to miss this!

Broccoli Cheese Soup

1/2 cup onions, chopped

2 tablespoons butter

1 (10 ounce) can of cream of chicken soup

1 1/2 cups milk

1 lb Velveeta cheese, cubed

Saute onion in butter.  Combine all ingredients in crockpot and cook on low for 3-4 hours.  Do not add salt.

**I wanted to speed up the process, so I bought a bag of broccoli I could steam in the microwave.  I then sauteed my onions and put the already steamed broccoli in the crockpot.  I cooked about an hour on high and it was perfect.  

And, you're welcome.  :)

U-T-I Equals T-M-I

I am willing to admit it now...I am NOT a good patient.  I never have been.  I am a wimp and don't deal well with not feeling good and being stuck inside a house all day and night.  I wasn't sure about whether to blog about my being sick this week because honestly, a UTI is just weird to talk about.  I felt very odd telling the doctor details about my visits to the restroom and quite frankly, feeling like I had to pee every dadgum second.  How embarrassing!  Speaking of embarrassing, so is having to pee in a cup and walk with it THROUGH THE WAITING ROOM to return it to the nurse!  Have mercy!

I just need to say this.....these things are AWFUL!  I had heard horror stories but man, I wasn't prepared.  Who knew it would make me feel like I had the flu, go through two rolls of toilet paper in a day (Don't say I didn't warn you), feel like I had a stomach virus, too, AND run fever?  T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E!  Thankfully, I am armed with antibiotics and finally feel like I can re-join the land of the living as of today.  This thing did a number on me, I tell ya.  Hallelujah for healing!
