    Ada Miller's Lancaster County Broccoli-Cheese Soup

    Published: Nov 10, 2014 · Updated: Apr 5, 2017 by Kevin Williams | 2 Comments

    By Kevin Williams

    Old Order Amish homemaker Ada Miller admits cooking isn't  her favorite skill.  She'd rather be out gardening or tending to her flowers.  But when she does receive rave reviews about her cooking it's usually over this simple, but hearty, broccoli cheese soup.   Ada was nice enough to write down her recipe and share it with all of us.  Some of the ingredients have been modified to make it easier for you to adapt at home (i.e. she would use fresh grown broccoli instead of frozen).
