2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons cannabutter
1 small onion, chopped
3 tablespoons all-purpose our
2 cups vegetable stock
1 large head broccoli, cut into florets
2 cups milk
1 cup half-and-half
3 cups freshly shredded cheddar cheese, plus extra for garnish
Salt (kosher or sea) and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

In a large pot, melt the butter and cannabutter over medium-low heat.
Add the onion and sauté until translucent, 4 to 5 minutes.
Sprinkle in the our and cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes to eliminate the raw- our taste, not letting it brown.
Add the stock and broccoli and cook for 9 minutes. Turn o the heat and let the soup cool slightly.
Working in 2 batches, puree the soup in a blender or food processor. Or, if you have an immersion blender, you can puree the soup directly in the pot.
Return the blended soup to the pot. Over medium-low heat, add the milk, half-and-half, and cheddar, and stir until cheese melts.
Season the soup with salt and pepper, and garnish with more cheddar before serving.
