F is for Fattening

I don't care that it's still 75 degrees outside and all of the leaves are green and on the trees. It's fall, dangit, and I'm making soup. This stuff is awesome in bread bowls. When you're already eating a million calories, what's a few hundred more for a bread bowl, right?
Cheesy Broccoli & Potato Soup
2 potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 c. broccoli, chopped
1 small onion, diced
2 chicken bullion cubes
1/2 c. margarine or butter
1/2 c. flour
2 c. milk
1 1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. sugar
Pepper to taste
1 c. cheddar cheese, grated

Combine potatoes, broccoli, onion, and bullion cubes in a large stockpot; cover with water and boil until vegetables are tender (about 15 minutes). Meanwhile in a separate pot, melt margarine and add flour and milk to make a white sauce. Add salt, pepper, sugar, and cheese; stir until cheese is melted. Add cheese sauce to vegetable pot (do not drain vegetables) and heat until thickened.

Just for good measure - you know, to make sure I'm thoroughly fattened for winter - I also made these. I don't know how to describe how good they are; you'll just have to make them yourself. You'll thank me. (A note on the filling: I don't have a sieve, and it turned out fine. Just whisk the flour and milk thoroughly to make sure it's smooth.)
