Creamy broccoli soup

  • 8

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs (10 cups) frozen or fresh broccoli
  • 1 quart chicken broth (low fat or low salt)
  • 2 oz cream cheese (reduced fat)
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • Extra broth or water to thin, if necessary

Preparation

Step 1

> Boil broccoli in broth for 10 minutes or until it's soft enough to mash (don't drain it). Mash roughly and add the rest of the ingredients, stirring until the cream cheese melts.

> Blend with an immersion blender or transfer to a regular blender, blending until smooth and adding extra broth to achieve your desired consistency.

> Top with a dollop of yogurt and some freshly ground black pepper.
