This delicious cream of broccoli soup has a bit of a twist. It is packed with healthy goodies like garlic, tomato and spinach. It's one of those broccoli cheese soup recipes that is a breeze to make and just full of things that are good for us. An added bonus for heatlhy soup recipe fans is that it uses milk instead of cream to create that creamy taste. You can use cream of course and it will be rich and delicious, but using lower fat milk keeps the fat content and calories down. A great diet soup recipe.
Broccoli Soup1 tablespoon butter Melt butter over medium heat in a large pot. Cook garlic, celery, onions, carrots and rosemary until onions are softened (about 5 minutes). Add stock and potatoes. Bring to a boil. Lower heat to medium and cook with lid on for about 8 minutes to cook potatoes, stirring often. Add tomatoes and tomato paste and stir to mix well. Cook, covered, for 5 minutes. Whisk flour into milk and stir gradually into the pot (make sure heat is at medium). Add broccoli. Cook for 5 minutes until broccoli is just done. Add spinach and cook until just wilted, stirring often. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (You will probably not need much salt if you use prepared broth or dried broth cubes so taste it first).
