Cheese soup might sound off-limits, but simply substitute a few reduced-fat and fat-free ingredients for their full-fat counterparts.

Ingredients

Olive oil

2 tsp

Onion

½ cup(s), chopped, yellow, chopped

All-purpose flour

3 Tbsp

Fat free chicken broth

2 cup(s)

Fat free skim milk

1½ cup(s)

Light cheddar cheese

1¾ cup(s), shredded

Table salt

⅛ tsp, or to taste

Black pepper

⅛ tsp, or to taste

Paprika

1 tsp

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat; add onion and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add flour and stir to coat. Add chicken broth; bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until soup thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add milk and return to a boil, stirring constantly.
  2. Working in batches, puree soup in a blender until smooth; return puree to pan and reheat soup to boiling. Remove pan from heat and whisk in cheese; stir until melted (if cheese does not completely melt, cook over low heat for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until melted); season to taste with salt and pepper.
  3. Ladle 1 1/4 cups of soup into each of 4 bowls and sprinkle each with 1/4 teaspoon of paprika.
