Broccoli Cheese Soup


1/2 cup butter
1 onion, chopped
2 (16 ounce) package frozen chopped broccoli
4 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
2 (1 pound) loaf processed cheese food, cubed
2 cups half and half
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2/3 cup cornstarch
1 cup water

Directions
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 cheese cubes until melted. Mix in milk and garlic powder.
In a small bowl, stir cornstarch into water until dissolved. Stir into soup; cook, stirring frequently, until thick. Once the cheese has melted, turn the heat down, so the cheese does not stick to the bottom of the pan.
