Total time: 34 min • Prep: 14 min • Cook: 20 min • Serves: 4 • Difficulty: Easy
Evaporated skim milk is a healthy way to add creaminess to soup instead of using cream.
Ingredients
Onion
1 medium, chopped
Garlic
1 clove(s), minced
Broccoli
2 pound(s), tough ends removed, stems and florets chopped
Fat free chicken broth
4 cup(s), or vegetable broth
Fat free evaporated milk (Vitamins A & D added)
1 cup(s)
Hot pepper sauce
½ tsp, or to taste
Table salt
¼ tsp, or to taste
Black pepper
¼ tsp, or to taste
Instructions
1
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.
2
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.
3
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.
