Cream of Broccoli and Cheese Soup-216 calories per serving

2.5 Cups steamed broccoli
1.25 cups Chicken broth
2 Tablespoons butter
1/4 cup flour
3 cups milk (I used 1%, but you can use skim)
1/2 cup reduced fat cheddar cheese

Melt butter and add flour and stir until golden.
Add chicken broth and milk. Stir until blended.
Add 2 cups of the broccoli.
Throw it in the blender, or use a hand immersion blender. Blend until smooth.
Add back to the pan. Add the remaining broccoli and cheese. Simmer on low heat. Enjoy!

Makes 4 servings. 216 calories a serving the way I made it. Sorry, I don't have the rest of the nutrition info.

    YUMMY!!!! Thanks for posting that!
  • Aargh. For some reason, it's not letting me edit this, but I forgot to add an ingredient. Garlic!! Yes, don't forget the garlic. Fresh garlic, garlic powder, whatever you have on hand. I also threw in some onion powder. And salt and pepper too. Will be bland without it.
