INGREDIENTS
2 cups chopped Broccoli
1/2 cup shredded Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese
2 cups Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
1 cup Unsweetened Low-Fat Milk
1/2 cup Fat-Free Greek Yogurt
2 tablespoons Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 medium chopped Onion
2 cloves minced Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a large pot, lightly sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic over medium heat until softened.
Sprinkle the whole wheat flour over the onions and garlic, stirring continuously to form a light roux; cook for about 1-2 minutes.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and low-fat milk, stirring to combine with the roux.
Add the chopped broccoli and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 8-10 minutes until the broccoli is tender.
Stir in the fat-free Greek yogurt to add creaminess without the excess fat, ensuring it fully incorporates.
Gently fold in the low-fat cheddar cheese until melted and the soup becomes creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and serve immediately, enjoying the light and creamy texture of the soup.
