- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 2 cups Velveeta cheese, cubed
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of butter, 1 chopped onion, and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Microwave on high for PT3M (3 minutes) until the onion is translucent, stirring halfway through.

2. Cook the Carrots:
Add 1 cup of sliced carrots to the bowl, microwave on high for PT5M (5 minutes), or until the carrots are tender. Stir halfway through cooking time.

3. Add Broccoli and Broth:
Pour in 3 cups of chicken broth and 4 cups of frozen broccoli. Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid or plate. Microwave on high for PT8M (8 minutes) until the broccoli is tender.

4. Thicken the Mixture:
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour with 2 cups of evaporated milk until smooth. Pour this mixture into the soup along with 1 can of cream of chicken soup, stirring well.

5. Melt the Cheese:
Add 2 cups of cubed Velveeta cheese to the soup. Microwave on high for PT5M (5 minutes), stirring halfway through, until the cheese is completely melted and the soup is creamy.

6. Season to Taste:
Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix well to combine all flavors.

7. Final Heating:
Microwave the entire mixture on high for an additional PT3M (3 minutes) to ensure everything is heated through. Stir well before serving.
