Low Calorie Broccoli Soup

maileent's Note:

This simple broccoli soup is healthy, tasty, and low calorie!

• Total Time: 40 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 4

Yield: 4.0 bowls

• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 4 cups broccoli, chopped (fresh or frozen)
• 2 cups vegetable broth (made with 1 veggie bouillon cube)
• 1/3 cup unsweetened coconut milk (I use So Delicious brand)
• 1/2 teaspoon adobo seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• salt

Directions:

1. cook chopped onions with olive oil in a pot.
2. mix 1/4 cup hot water with bullion, add to onions.
3. put broccoli & remaining water in pot, cook for 25 minutes and sprinkle in the adobe seasoning.
4. take out the florets & blend soup, grind in the pepper and add the coconut milk while blending.
5. put the florets back in & serve.
6. Note: If using So Delicious Coconut milk, the calories come to 55 per bowl (four servings total). I like using this brand because it is low calorie and still gives a wonderful creamy texture to soups.

Mmmm this was very tasty, I have made broccoli soup lot's of times but never thought to add coconut to it but it really tastes nice thick and creamy I used shallot rather than the onion as I am low carbing and onions are higher GI, but what a nice soup thank you for posting.
