Best-Ever Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Best-Ever Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Low Fat Soup

Ingredients
4 cups vegetable stock (see blog recipe) or reduced-sodium vegetable broth
2 cups coarsely chopped broccoli (about 1 small head)
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/3 cup finely shredded light cheddar cheese
1/8 tsp salt (or to taste)
Freshly ground black pepper


Directions
In a pot, bring stock to a boil over high heat. Add broccoli, onion and garlic. Reduce heat and simmer for 25 or 30 minutes or until broccoli is very tender. Remove from heat and let it cool for 10 minutes.


Working in batches, transfer soup to food processor (or blender or immersion blender) and puree until smooth. Return soup to pot if necessary. Stir in cheese and heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until melted. Season with up to 1/8 tsp salt and pepper or to taste.


Foody Fran's Note: this soup makes only 1 to 2 servings so double or triple the recipe if needed.
