Broccoli and Cheese Soup

Here is my soup swap recipe:

Broccoli and Cheese Soup
From myrecipes.com

• Cooking Spray
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth (I used vegetable)
• 1 16oz package broccoli florets
• 2 1/2 cups 2% milk
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 oz light processed cheese

Heat a large nonstick saucepan coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; saute 3 minutes or until tender. Add broth and broccoli. Bring broccoli mixture to a boil over miedum-high heat. Reduce heat to medium; cook 10 minutes.

Combine milk and flour, stirring with a whisk until well blended. Add milk mixture to broccoli mixture. Cook 5 minutes or until slightly thick, stirring constantly. Stir in pepper. Remove from heat; add cheese, stirring until cheese melts.

Place 1/3 soup in a blender or food processor, and process until smooth. Return pureed soup mixture to pan. (I used my hand blender and probably "over blended" a little, but it should still be good)

Looking forward to Strollerfit class tomorrow to work off some of the soup :)
