Broccoli Soup (very easy recipe)

  • Got this recipe from family a few months ago when they brought it to our family pot luck!

    It's very delicious. They had bacon bits sprinkle into it, but for a healthier version lets just leave those out . When served, you can sprinkle in a little bit of cheese to make it cheesier if you so wish (I'm guilty of same, BUT I use low-fat versions) !!!

    Makes 2 quarts

    • 2 lbs broccoli
    • 2 large carrots
    • 1 medium onion (or substitute with onion flakes)
    • 2 cups water
    • 1 chicken OXO cube <would it be right to assume that there's a low sodium version?>
    • 1 tbsp Mrs. Dash Garlic & Herb Seasoning
    • 1 tsp black pepper
    >>>Cook above ingredients in a large pot until tender. Then add:

    • 2 cups skim milk
    >>>Process in blender. Return to pot. Stir in:

    • ¼ cup shredded Regianno cheese

    Sprinkle each serving with bacon bits and extra cheese (optional) when served

    I believe you can freeze this recipe - I know I do. I'm just gonna say "Freeze Up To 3 Months". I usually freeze in small containers so when I'm hungry for soup I have a portion right there ready for me to unthaw.

    Enjoy!
