Cheesey Broccoli & Cauliflower Soup
Minus the fact that it slightly resembles baby vomit, it's really a delicious recipe! The recipe I found calls for the soup to be "blended and pureed;" next time, I'd skip it!
1 1/2 tsp olive oil
1 onion, diced
1/4 cup flour
32 oz reduced-sodium chicken broth
12 oz bag broccoli and cauliflower
1 cup shredded reduced-fat Monterrey Jack and cheddar cheese blend
1. Heat oil in large saucepan. Add onion and cook until tender (5 - 7 minutes). Add flour and cook, stirring continually, for about 1 minute. Slowly add in broth, stirring continually. Add broccoli and cauliflower. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 10 minutes.
2. The recipe calls for soup to be blended and pureed at this point. I did, but I would skip it next time.
3. Add cheese and stir until melted.
** Because I needed a few more points, I served whole wheat Italian bread with it, perfect for dunking (and adding 4 points, for 2 slices) to my total.
Weight Watchers points (I think, if I calculated right ...): 2 per 1 cup serving.
