Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

2 lb Fresh broccoli
8 oz Fresh mushrooms
1 c Butter
1 c Flour
4 c Chicken broth
4 c Half and half
1 ts Salt (optional)
1/4 ts White pepper
1 ts Tarragon leaves, crushed.

This recipe was submitted to Country Woman by Lorrie Arthur and it is
delicious.

Clean and cut broccoli into 1/2 inch pieces. Steam in 1/2 cup water
until tender/crisp (I nuke them for 3 to 4 minutes) do not drain. Set
aside. Clean and slice mushrooms. In a large pan over medium heat,
melt butter; add flour to make a roux. Cook, stirring constantly,
for 2 to 4 minutes; do not let brown. Stir in chicken broth; bring
just to a boil. Turn heat to low; add broccoli, mushrooms,
half-and-half and seasonings. Heat through but do not boil.

Makes 8 servings.

NOTE: This recipe works well cut in half. Last night I made it using
broccoli and mushrooms that had been taking up space in the reefer for
awhile and were rubbery. Still tasted great. I usually serve with
fresh bread (made of course in my bread machine.)
