LOW- FAT BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP

Categories Vegetable Vegetarian

Yield 6 bowls

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 onion, diced
3-4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 bunch broccoli, stems discarded, chopped
3/4 lb reduced-fat Velveta, cubed
2 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 pint, light whipping cream or about 2C milk
~32oz vegetable broth
1/4t Sea salt + 1/4t Pepper, to taste

Steps:

Saute onion and garlic in large skillet or dutch oven. Add broth. Add potatoes. Potatoes will take about 30min to cook through so plan accordingly. (I steamed broccoli on the side but if you're confident in broccoli cooking skills then add about half way through, with about 20min left to soup.) Let potatoes cook, until about halfway done, then add cream or milk and cheese (and broccoli). Add S+P . Let simmer on med heat for about 10 minutes, or until desired consistency. Serve with fresh cracked pepper.

Tips:

Use low-fat or nonfat milk: This will help to reduce the fat content of the soup without sacrificing flavor.
Use low-sodium chicken broth: This will help to keep the soup from being too salty.
Add vegetables to the soup: This will boost the nutritional value of the soup and make it more filling.
Use a low-fat cheese: This will help to reduce the fat content of the soup without sacrificing flavor.
Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
