Made this last night. It was quick, easy and 167 calories per serving!

1pkg McCormick Produce Partners Cream of Broccoli Soup Mix
1C Fat Free Reduced Sodium Chicken Broth
1C 1% Milk
1 TBS unsalted Butter (you could use a reduced fat margarine)
1 1/4C Frozen Broccoli Cauliflower blend, thawed
1/2 Velveeta Shreds Cheese

Combine the first 5 ingredients and bring to a simmer for 10 minutes. I then used my immersion blender to puree the broccoli and cauliflower. Make as smooth or chunky as you prefer. Stir in the cheese until melted.

    Altough I didn't follow the directions on the packet, it said 3 servings. That would be a little over 1 cup, 167 cal. per serving the way I made it. I left the amount of liquid the same swapping 1 cup broth for 1 cup of the milk, decreased the butter, but added 1/4 C more of broccoli/cauliflower. My husband and I split it into 2 servings at 250.5 calories, a little over 1 1/2 C each.
