Evaporated skim milk is a healthy way to add creaminess to soup instead of using cream.

Ingredients

  1 medium uncooked onion(s), chopped   
1 clove(s) (medium) garlic clove(s), minced   
  2 pound(s) uncooked broccoli, tough ends removed, stems and florets chopped   
  4 cup(s) fat free chicken broth, or vegetable broth   
1 cup(s) fat free evaporated milk   
1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce, or to taste   
1/4 tsp table salt, or to taste   
1/4 tsp black pepper, or to taste   

Instructions

  • Combine onion and garlic in a 2-quart saucepan with 1/4 cup of water. Simmer until onion is soft, about 10 minutes; spoon vegetables into a large pot.

  • Add broccoli and broth to pot; bring to a boil over high heat. Once soup boils, reduce heat and simmer until broccoli is soft but still green, about 8 minutes. Do not cover pot while broccoli is cooking or it will turn gray.

  • Remove soup from heat; puree until smooth in batches in a blender (be careful not to splatter hot liquid) or puree in pot using an immersion blender. Add evaporated milk and hot pepper sauce to soup; season to taste with salt and pepper. Yields about 1 3/4 cups per serving.

Notes

  • Fresh chives brighten the flavor of cream soups. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of minced chives over each serving. Or, if available, garnish each bowl with 1 chive blossom.

This recipe was a bit bland, but it helped me use up some broccoli that had been in my freezer for at least four months, and I'm actually eating the broccoli in soup form, so that's pretty big for me. I really like how simple the recipe was to follow, and I like that I can spice it up however I want, and how healthy it was. I love WeightWatchers recipes! They are getting me actually cooking!
