Cheddar Cheese and Broccoli Soup

Ingredients

2 tsp olive oil
1/2 cup onion, chopped
3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cup fat-free chicken broth
1 cup fat-free skim milk
7 oz 75% fat free cheddar or colby cheese (I use Cabot's 75% fat free)
1/8 tsp table salt, or to taste
1/8 tsp black pepper, or to taste
3 cups frozen cut broccoli

Instructions

* Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat; add onion and cook until soft, about 2 minutes.

* Pour the chicken broth in a medium sized bowl, and add the flour. Whisk until the flour is dissolved.

* Add the chicken broth mixture to the saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring frequently.

* Add the broccoli, reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until soup thickens and broccoli is tender, about 6 - 8 minutes. Add milk and return to a boil, stirring constantly.

* Slice the cheese into small pieces and add to the soup mixture, stirring constantly until the cheese is melted.

There is a broccoli, cheese, potato soup recipe on skinnytaste.com that looks great! You could modify it to remove the potato.
