Broccoli Cheese Soup

1/4 onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
2-3 cups broccoli, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 C water + 1 chicken bouillon cube
2-3 C milk
2 TBS cornstarch, mixed w/3 TBS cold water
1/2- 1 C cheese, grated

Sautee onion and garlic a little butter. Add broccoli & water/chicken bouillon. Cover & cook on medium heat for 10 minutes. Add milk. Turn up the heat a little, but not too much or it will curdle/separate. Add cornstarch water, a little at a time, while stirring. When it has begun to thicken, add cheese & turn off heat. If it doesn't get as thick as you want, add more cornstarch water (never add just cornstarch powder to something hot.) If it is too thick, add more milk.
