Yep! I whipped this soup up yesterday and I loved it! You get 2 CUPS of this soup for ONLY 2 points! :)
Creamy Broccoli Soup
Serves 4, 2 Cup servings, 2 PointsPlus
4 Cups Broccoli
3 Stalks Celery, diced
1 Cup Carrots, diced
1 Small onion, diced
6 Cups fat free, reduced sodium chicken broth (or vegetable)
Black pepper to taste
*optional* Shredded cheddar cheese for topping.
Spray large pot with PAM, add onion, celery, and carrots. Cook for a few minutes- until onions are translucent.
Add stock and broccoli; bring to a boil. Lower heat then simmer uncovered until carrots and broccoli are soft.
Let cool slightly then blend soup using either an immersion blender or a regular blender done in batches. Blending it makes it creamy! :)
Serve with shredded cheddar cheese for additional points. :) YUM! I promise you won't miss the cream!

Sean and I are going to have dinner tonight with his family but I really don't want to be on the road tonight. We will probably be in bed before midnight and that is fine with me! lol
I have lots of reading homework for my sessions and I plan on doing my studying today. So far all is going well with it! :)
I wish everyone a safe and happy new year! I am looking forward to 2011! It's going to be a great year! :)

Do you have a recommendation for a good immersion blender? Checking product reviews it seems like there's lots out there that break after a few uses...and the ones that don't cost $250!
ReplyDeleteI just made this today and it was super easy and tasty!!!
