I put this soup together last night as my daughter was craving broccoli cheese soup, but as a weight watcher's lifetime member I wanted to be able to enjoy it as well. This version makes a lot of soup, 20 cups, with a super low point value of only 1.5 points per cup! My family thought it turned out great, I hope you like it too! Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter |
1 medium sweet onion, diced |
3/4 cup shredded carrot |
1 teaspoon chopped garlic |
2 lbs frozen broccoli, pieces |
3 tablespoons chicken base, with 9 cups water or 9 cups chicken stock |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 1/4 cups 2% low-fat milk |
8 ounces velveeta reduced fat cheese product, cubed |
2 tablespoons flour |
1/2 cup flour |
Directions:
1. Saute onion and carrots in butter until softened, add garlic and stir. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over sauteed veggies and let cook for a minute to get rid of the flour taste.
2. Add chicken base and water (or chicken stock) and bring to a simmer.
3. Add broccoli pieces and cook until desired tenderness. Add cubed pieces of Velveeta and stir until melted. Stir in milk.
4. Combine remaining 1/2 cup flour with enough water to make a slurrey and stir into simmering soup to thicken.
5. Salt and pepper to taste, above amounts of salt and pepper are approximate! Makes 10 2-cup servings!
