The traditionally indulgent broccoli-cheddar soup gets a slimming makeover with the addition of milk instead of heavy cream.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp canola oil

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 6 cups broccoli florets

  • 1 large Yukon Gold potato, peeled and finely chopped

  • 3 cups vegetable broth

  • 3 cups milk

  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley

  • 2 cups grated cheddar

  • additional cheddar, and parsley for garnishing (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat a large pot over medium. Add oil, then garlic and onion. Cook until almost softened, 3 min. Stir in broccoli, potato, broth and milk. Boil, then simmer, partially covered, until potato is tender, about 10 min. Stir in parsley.

  • Purée in batches in a blender, then return to pot over medium-low. Stir in cheese. Garnish with parsley, more cheese and olive oil, if desired.
