Golden Broccoli Bisque
Cooking for Two, Pg 29 by Joanna Lund
If you’ve passed (with regrets) on the high-fat broccoli-cheese soups served at some popular chain restaurants, here’s good news: You don’t have to resist temptation any longer! This version is luscious, try it and see!
Serves 2 ( 1 cup)
1 cup finely chopped fresh or frozen broccoli, thawed
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup hot water
1/3 cup carnation Nonfat Dry Milk Powder
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup cold water
1/4 cup Land O Lakes Fat Free Half & Half
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 (2.5 ounce) jar sliced mushrooms, drained and chopped
1/2 cup diced Velveeta Light processed cheese
In a medium saucepan, combine broccoli, onion, and hot water. Cook over medium heat for 7 to 9 minutes or until broccoli is tender. In a covered jar, combine dry milk powder, flour, and cold water. Shake well to blend. Pour milk mixture into broccoli mixture. Add half & half, Worcestershire sauce, mushrooms and Velveeta cheese. Mix well to combine. Continue cooking for 10 minutes or until mixture thickens and cheese melts, stirring often.
Each serving equals:
HE: 1 3/4 vegetable, 1 protein, 1/3 fat free milk, 18 optional calories
188 calories, 4 gm fat, 14 gm protein, 24 gm carbohydrate, 705 mg sodium, 382 mg calcium, 4 gm fiber
