Broccoli Soup
Fiona Haynes
Add body to low-fat soups by using potato and some low-fat or nonfat milk, then
purée the soup in a blender. This low-fat broccoli soup makes a delicious
and satisfying lunch.
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:

. 2 tsp olive oil
. 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped (about 3/4 cup)
. 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
. 1 medium Yukon Gold potato, peeled and cubed

Preparation:
Heat oil on medium heat in a soup pot or Dutch oven. Gently sauté onion and
celery for 3-4 minutes, until onion is softened. Add potato and chopped
broccoli,
followed by the broth and milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and
simmer for 20 minutes, until vegetables are tender.
Allow soup to cool slightly, then transfer to a blender in 2-3 batches, and
blend until smooth. Return soup to pot and heat gently until ready to serve.
