I love Cream of Broccoli soup but the fat and calories do not like me. This is a lower fat but great tasting recipe to use. Keep in mind that if you use homemade chicken broth, remove the fat first ( let broth cool then skim off the fatty topping) Ingredients:
1 (10 ounce) can low-fat chicken broth |
1 1/4 cups water |
2 1/4 cups broccoli, chopped include the stems |
1/2-1 cup onion, diced |
1/2 cup evaporated skim milk |
1 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 cup parmesan cheese or 1/2 cup pecorino cheese, shredded |
1/2 cup carrot, cut up (optional) |
Directions:
1. Combine broth, water, broccoli and onion (carrots if using) and bring to a boil in a large saucepan.
2. Reduce heat to simmer for 15 minute.
3. (if you choose you can puree 1/2 or all of soup mixture at this point in a blender) I do 1/2 as I like the chunks of broccoli in my sup.
4. Slowly add evaporated milk to soup mixture or med.-low heat stirring as you add. Add pepper and cheese.
5. Let cool a few minutes then serve.
6. add additional pepper to taste.
7. this is good as a left over as well.
