Broccoli Soup

DeeDee's Note:

A fast, easy and nutritious soup. I sometimes add carrots or cauliflower for something different. You could probably add just about anything you have and end up with a different soup every time.

• Total Time: 45 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1 bunch broccoli (leave small stems)
• 1 (12 ounce) can lite evaporated milk
• 1 cup broth (vegetable or chicken)
• 2 small potatoes
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 chopped onion
• salt and pepper

Directions:

1. In a saucepan, add all ingredients EXCEPT MILK and bring to a boil.
2. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes and broccoli are soft. Add a bit more broth if it evaporates too much.
3. With a slotted spoon, take vegetables out of soup and put into food processor or blender and puree. If you like to leave some chunks of vegetables, mash with a potato masher to the consistency your liking.
4. Add the evaporated milk, and salt & pepper to taste.
5. Heat through and serve.

Great!!! My kids even ASK me to make this! I added 1 to 2 Tablespoons each of chopped red bell pepper and grated carrot, more for color than flavor. I also ran out of evaporated milk and used 1/2% milk instead, soup still turned out great! I didn't puree the vegetables, instead I used a potato masher to crush them right in the pan into a coarser texture than the puree would have been.

This was fast, easy and healthy, but I didn't care for the consistency. It was more like a thick baby food, not a soup. The flavor was OK, but maybe needed more liquid. Thanks for sharing!
