Virtually Fat Free Cream of Broccoli Soup image

This recipe is from one of my favorite cookbooks: "Fabulous Fat Free Cooking" by Lynn Fischer. I thought, since most people bring in the New Year with the resolution of healthy eating, exercise and weightloss, I would help by posting a few of my favorite fat-free recipes. This soup has 0.9 grams of fat per 1 cup serving and 113 calories.

This soup is a great make-ahead meal. You can make it on the weekend and then reheat it during the week.

I'm not a big fan of broccoli, but I actually liked this soup. The creaminess of the soup mellowed out the flavor of the broccoli.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover broccoli. I always have a few florets left over after I make roasted broccoli, and this soup is the perfect way to use them up.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out bland. I think I might have used old broccoli.
