Preparation

Step 1

In a soup pot, heat olive oil over medium high heat and cook onion. When onion is translucent, add garlic and broccoli and chicken broth. Cook till broccoli is tender, about 3 minutes or so. Now add the spinach, thyme, salt and peppering to taste. Cook till all is tender and good, about 5 more minutes.

You can blend this soup (that’s what I do) and serve hot with a 1/2 tablespoon lowfat cheddar cheese on top. It’s really good!
