Broccoli Cheese Soup


Warm and satisfying, this soup really takes care of a cheese craving while not completely wrecking my meal plan. I didn't even miss the milk and flour usually found in traditional cheese soups.

Ingredients:
8 oz. broccoli, chopped
3 oz. shard cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup of chicken broth (I used the chicken bouillon supplement pack for this recipe)
Seasoning to taste (I used garlic powder, red pepper flake and black pepper)

Directions:
Place broccoli in a shallow pan. Cover with water and bring to a simmer. Simmer broccoli until tender.

Meanwhile, place a pot, lightly coated with butter cooking spray, over medium low heat. Place shredded cheese in pot. Stir frequently as it begins to melt. When mostly melted, slowly stir chicken broth into cheese. Stir soup until smooth. Add broccoli and seasonings and heat through.

If eating for lunch, add your favorite fruit to the side. If eating for dinner, add a slice of toast or melba toast to the side.
