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:
list of 7 items
. 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
. 4 cups fresh broccoli, including stems, chopped
. 2 cups low-sodium, fat-free chicken or vegetable broth
. 1 1/2 cups nonfat milk
list end

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.
