LIGHT CHICKEN BROCCOLI ALFREDO SOUP (LOWER FAT)
When I ran across Chef #55221's recipe for Recipe #155375, I thought it sounded like something my family would love. Being on a "lower fat" diet, there was no way I could make it as written though. I was really pleased with how well the recipe modified to meet my dietary needs. It was still rich and delicious, and everyone loved it. Here is my lightened up version.

Steps:
- In a heavy stockpot over medium heat, sauté onion and garlic in olive oil for 2-3 minutes. Add light butter and 1/4 cup flour and cook, stirring, for another 2-3 minutes until bubbly. Add remaining 1/2 cup of flour to a small amount of chicken broth and stir to remove lumps. Gradually whisk in flour and broth combo, plus remaining chicken broth and half & half; cook, stirring frequently, until thickened.
- Meanwhile, steam broccoli (I use the steamer bag in the microwave) or cook broccoli in a separate pan with 2 cups of water just until form and not soft. Remove from heat and do not drain cooking water from broccoli.
- Add Parmesan cheese topping to soup-base in stockpot; cook over low heat, stirring, just until cheese is melted; add steamed broccoli and 2 cups of water (or cooked broccoli along with its cooking water), chicken, seasonings, and bow tie pasta to the stockpot; heat through.

[email protected]This soup was a disaster. The sauce was curdled, and the chicken was overcooked. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I will not be making this soup again.

[email protected]This soup was just okay. The flavor was a bit bland, and the texture was a bit watery. I think I would have liked it better if I had added more salt and pepper. I also think it would have been better if I had used a different type of pasta. Overall,
