    Recipe Introduction


    4 Points for 1 1/3 cups
    Add voluptuous texture to a low-calorie soup by using processed
    cheese, which melts beautifully. Mix a small portion of the soup in
    the blender to add body.
    Yield
    6 servings (serving size: 1 1/3 cups)

    List of Ingredients




    Cooking spray
    1 cup chopped onion
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    3 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
    1 (16-ounce) package broccoli florets
    2 1/2 cups 2% reduced-fat milk
    1/3 cup all-purpose flour
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    8 ounces light processed cheese, cubed (such as Velveeta
    Light)

    Recipe



    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 medium-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 one-third of the soup in a blender or food processor, and
    process until smooth. Return pureed soup mixture to pan.
