I did some research in the Broccoli Quinoa Casserole thread,
and it just has too much sodium for me. I've already lowered
my blood pressure from cutting back on sodium.

Anyway, I ran in to this recipe while searching around the interwebs.


Broccoli Soup
Makes 4 servings. (1 cup each)

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups chopped broccoli (or 10-ounce pkg. frozen broccoli)
1/4 cup diced celery
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
2 cups nonfat milk
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
1/4 tsp. salt
Dash pepper
Dash ground thyme
1/4 cup grated Swiss cheese

Place vegetables and broth in saucepan. Bring to boil, reduce heat, cover, and cook until vegetables are tender (about 8 minutes). Mix milk, cornstarch, salt, pepper, and thyme; add to cooked vegetables. Cook, stirring constantly, until soup is lightly thickened and mixture just begins to boil. Remove from heat. Add cheese and stir until melted. This is an official Fruits & Veggies—More Matters recipe.

    That sounds similar to Skinnytaste's Zuchinni soup! Not the same of course but both sound delicious!

    That looks pretty good too! I added it as a recipe,
    but the sodium is 663 per cup. I'll see if I can find
    a lower sodium broth. (instead of Swanson)

    I made it last night with the same ingredients I have
    in my MFP recipe, and it turned out better than I thought.
    It was really good with a sandwich.


    Went as follows:

    Place vegetables and broth in saucepan. Bring to boil,
    reduce heat, cover, and cook until vegetables are tender
    (about 8 minutes). Mix milk, unbleached flour, salt, pepper,
    and fresh oregano leaves, (torn in 1/3's) Add to cooked
    vegetables. Cook, stirring constantly, until soup is lightly
    thickened and mixture just begins to boil. Remove from heat.
    Add cheese and stir until melted.
