Broccoli Cheese Soup Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup chopped celery
3/4 cup chopped onions
3 tablespoon canola oil
2 cans (14-1/2 oz. each) fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth (I use organic when possible)
1/2 teaspoon pepper
4-1/2 cups broccoli florets
1/2 cup instant brown rice, uncooked
2 cups low fat or fat free milk
1/4 cup lite parmesan cheese (grated)
Instructions:
Put canola oil in large pan over medium heat. Heat oil until and place carrots, celery, and onion in pan. Cook for about 5 minutes, being sure to stir often to keep from sticking. Stir in chicken broth and pepper. Bring to a rapid boil. Reduce heat to low and stir in broccoli and rice. Simmer about 15 minutes or until vegetables are fork tender. Pour broccoli mixture into blender a little at time and puree. Put broccoli puree back in pan and add milk and cheese. Cook on low heat until cheese is completely melted and puree is heated through.
Serving Suggestion: This puree is tasty served in hollowed-out sourdough bread rounds or over baked potatoes.
