Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, pressed
• 1 (10-oz.) bag frozen chopped broccoli
• 1 (10-oz.) bag frozen spinach
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups lowfat milk
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste

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!
