Broccoli Cheddar Soup with Chicken

Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Saute 1 garlic clove, minced, and 1/4 cup chopped yellow onion about 2 minutes. Add 4 cups low-sodium chicken stock, bring to a boil and add 2 cups chopped broccoli florets. Cover and simmer until broccoli is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Puree, add back to skillet, and mix in 1/4 cup cooked chicken, 1/4 cup low-fat sharp cheddar, and a pinch ground nutmeg. Eat with 5 whole wheat crackers. (Makes 2 servings.)

I added tablespoon of flour to the sauteed onions and substituting 2 cups skim milk for the chicken broth, adding the broccoli, bringing to a boil and simmering. I then added a few pinches cornstarch to thicken it up and simmered a few more minutes before adding the cheese. The results were creamy and delicious. It didn't match the color; it was more of a pale green but very flavorful. Hope this helps.

Do not try this recipe. I tried making it twice and it was terrible each time. We could not even eat it. It does not look like the picture at all. It looked like chicken stock with broccoli and cheese floating in it. I was so disappointed.....and I wasted ingredients :(
