Description

Ingredients

• 1 TBS butter
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 carrots, chopped
• 3 celery ribs, finely chopped
• 1 TBS garlic, minced
• 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken)
• 2 large baking potatoes, peeled and chopped (I used yukon)
• 1 TBS flour
• 1/2 cup water
• 2/3 cup skim milk
• 2 cups chopped broccoli (I probably used more like 3, so whatever you like!)
• 1 cup shredded reduced fat cheddar cheese (I used extra sharp)

Directions

• 1. Melt the butter in a large soup pot. Add onions, carrots, and celery and saute over medium heat until tender. 2. Add garlic and cook 1 or 2 additional minutes. 3. Add chicken broth and potatoes, bring to a boil, and cook until potatoes are tender. 4. Mix flour with water, add, and simmer until soup is slightly thickened. 5. Add milk and broccoli and cook until broccoli is just tender and soup is heated through. Stir in cheese, allow to melt, and serve.
