Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fat-free chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup Chopped onion
- 1 cup Chopped celery
- 1 cup Chopped carrots
- 2 cups Frozen broccoli florets
- 1 cup Fat-free evaporated milk
- 1 cup Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot, bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the chopped onion, celery, carrots, and frozen broccoli florets to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium and let simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the fat-free evaporated milk and all-purpose flour until well combined and free of lumps.
Slowly pour the milk-flour mixture into the soup, stirring constantly to avoid clumping. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes until the soup thickens.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the low-fat shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted and incorporated.
Season the soup with salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Remove the pot from heat. For a smoother consistency, use an immersion blender to blend part or all of the soup (optional).
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of paprika, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
