Broccoli Cheese Soup Recipe


Submitted by dfisher18

Makes 5 servings


2 10 oz frozen broccoli thawed enough to separate

Ingredients
2 tablespoons margarine
1/2 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup chopped celery
20 oz. frozen broccoli
2 cups chicken broth (fat free)
1 cup milk (nonfat)
1/2 lb. processed cheese (reduced fat)
Directions
  1. In medium saucepan, heat the margarine. Add onion, celery and cook until wilted.

  2. Add broccoli and broth. Quickly bring to a boil. Cover and simmer until broccoli is tender, about 5 minutes.

  3. Puree in blender (will need to do in two batches).

  4. In the saucepan, stir together the broccoli puree, milk and cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste, and then heat. If the soup is thicker than you like, add more broth or milk and re-season.
