    1       tb           Butter
    1       c            Chopped onions
    1 1/3   lb           Potatoes, peeled, cut into
                         -3/4-inch cubes
    2 1/2   c            Boiling water
    2                    Chicken bouillon cubes
   10       oz           Frozen broccoli cuts, thawed

    6       oz           Shredded Cheddar cheese
                         Salt and pepper to taste
 
   Melt the butter in a 2- to 3-quart saucepan.  Add the onion and saute for 5
   minutes.  Add the potatoes, water and bouillon cubes.  Cover and bring to a
   boil; reduce the heat  to medium and cook just until the potatoes are
   tender, about 15 minutes.  Remove 1 cup of potato cubes with a slotted
   spoon and set aside.  Pour the contents of the saucepan into a blender and
   process until smooth.  Return to the saucepan. Mix in the reserved potatoes
   and the broccoli.  Place over medium-low heat and very gradually add the
   cheese, stirring until heated through and the cheese is completely melted.
   Season with salt and pepper.
   
   Makes 4 servings.
