Like a cross between fruit tarts and butter tarts, these tiny blackberry tartlets are delicious. The acidic blackberries pair nicely with the sweet butter pastries.

Ingredients
- 3 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
- 1 head broccoli, chopped
- 1 head broccoli, finely chopped
- ½ cup shredded carrots
- 6 tablespoons salted butter, cubed
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed
- 2 cups milk
- ½ (8 ounce) package processed cheese food (such as Velveeta®), cubed
Instructions
- Bring chicken broth to a simmer in a large pot. Add both heads of broccoli and carrots to the simmering stock; simmer for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour, 1 tablespoon at a time. Cook and stir until a golden roux forms, about 2 minutes. Slowly add milk, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring continuously. Bring to a boil and cook until a thickened gravy forms, about 2 minutes.
- Slowly pour onion gravy into the broccoli mixture, stirring continuously. Bring to a simmer. Stir in processed cheese food. Simmer, stirring often, until cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Do not let the soup come to a boil or the cheese could separate.

Reviews
loved it, making it for the third time, cant get enough of it.
The family really enjoyed it! A bit thicker than I prefer. Next time, I will cut the flour to 2-3 Tbs. I also used regular shredded cheddar instead and it worked well.
I used gluten free flour so my wife could eat it, and omitted the carrots, because I didn’t have any. But it’s mighty tasty! Definitely will make again.
This was a great recipe and easy to make. The directions are spot-on and I appreciated that. I made a couple of modifications due to ingredients on hand – I had homemade vegetable stock so I used that and added “Better than bullion” chicken base. I had some Velveta but didn’t have quite enough, so added a few slices of American cheese.
