Low Fat Cheese Broccoli Soup

Submitted by ChefDarlingNikki

"I can remember my mom making this for us when I was a kid when she was on weight watchers. We just recently found the recipe and I figured the points (it still had the old food exchanges!). I went to the weight watchers website and figured the points as 7 points per serving. ( I think the servings are pretty big, too!) Note: Don't get turned off on the Reduced Fat Velveeta Cheese, I don't think it tastes light or low fat at all!!"

I am so glad you have this one here! My husband brought it home from a meeting once (ww) and we loved it, but lost the recipe. There was one thing I added that really helped the soup out and it was a cup of FF plain yogurt. Just makes it more creamy without adding many points (one or two points to the whole recipe). I don't think his recipe had the noodles or the powdered milk, so that probably makes it thicker too. YUMMY! Thanks!
