This is a quick, creamy, hearty soup - terrific on a cold, dreary day. My family raves about it! Ingredients:
32 ounces low sodium chicken broth |
1/2 cup onion, chopped |
2 cups fresh broccoli, chopped |
1 cup instant potato flakes |
1 cup mild cheddar cheese, shredded |
1 cup skim milk |
2 tablespoons sweet unsalted butter |
1/2 cup chopped celery (optional) |
Directions:
1. Place broth, onions, and broccoli in a pan and simmer 8-10 minutes. You should still see small chunks of broccoli floating in it.
2. Add milk and stir in potato flakes.
3. Stir in butter and cheese. Heat 2-3 more minutes. Serve with oyster crackers or saltines.
4. Adjust soup's consistency by adding milk to thin or potato flakes to thicken. If you want a saltier soup add a bouillon cube.
