1 point Broccoli Cheese Soup (WW Recipe)

I made this today and it tastes really good. It is not a thick and creamy soup, but is flavorful, and I enjoyed it.

Broccoli Cheese Soup

1 point per serving
Makes Four 1 1/4 cup servings

4 cups Broccoli Florets
2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
(I used low sodium chicken broth accidentally, it was still yummy- not sure how it tastes with the veggie broth)
1/4 cup fat free milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground peper
1/2 cup shredded fat free cheddar cheese


1. Combine broccoli and broth in a large sauce pan; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until broccoli is tender, about 10 minutes.

2. Transfer the broccoli and about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid to a blender (it is recommended not to use a food processor in place of a blender because food processors are not designed to hold a lot of liquid.) Puree until very smooth, scraping the sides of the blender every 30 seconds. Remove the knob of the blender and slowly add the remaining liquid through the hole. pour the soup back into the sauce pan. Stir in milk, salt and pepper; simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove the sauce pan from heat, add cheese, and stir until melted.


I have no idea what I did wrong according to the recipe, but I did find that when I was done pureeing, I did not have 5 cups of liquid (four 1 1/4 cup servings.) I ended up resolving this by making up half the difference with the broth and the other half of the difference with FF milk until the liquid hit the 5 cup mark on the blender. I belive it is still 1 point per serving with the extra milk and broth and I recommend you do this in the event that you fall short when following the recipe.
