Creamy Lightened-Up Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Enjoy a lighter twist on a classic comfort soup. This creamy broccoli cheddar soup balances tender broccoli, a hint of sharp low-fat cheddar, and the smoothness of low-fat milk and Greek yogurt, all brought together with aromatic onions and garlic for a wholesome, satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
2 cups chopped Broccoli
1 oz Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese
1 cup Low-Fat Milk
1/2 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Vegetable Broth
1/4 medium Onion, diced
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
PREPARATION
Heat olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they become soft and fragrant.
Stir in the chopped broccoli and dried thyme, allowing the broccoli to soften slightly for about 4-5 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth and low-fat milk, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for another 5 minutes or until the broccoli is tender.
Reduce the heat to low and gradually stir in the low-fat cheddar cheese, allowing it to melt smoothly into the soup.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the plain nonfat Greek yogurt until the soup reaches a creamy consistency. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Optionally, use an immersion blender to slightly blend the soup for a smoother texture while still retaining some broccoli chunks.
Serve warm and enjoy your lightened-up, protein-rich broccoli cheddar soup.
