Cream Of Mushroom Broccoli Soup
After our discussion in chat last night about broccoli soup I entered my
recipe with a few alterations into WW so I could add it to my daily points tracker. Here's the recipe if anyone is interested. I tastes marvelous just like the original recipe. Cream Of Mushroom Broccoli Soup soups POINTS® Value: 5 Servings: 4 a.. 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg b.. 3 Tbsp olive oil c.. 1 bunch broccoli d.. 6 large mushroom(s) e.. 1 large onion(s) f.. 4 Tbsp all-purpose flour g.. 5 cup fat-free chicken broth h.. 4 oz fat free half and half Instructions dice the mushrooms and cut up the broccoli and dice the onion. In a medium pan, heat oil and butter and saute onions and mushrooms. 5 min Add flour, stir well and add rest of ingredients. Let simmer over medium heat for 8-10 minutes. strain the soup and place solids in processor and blend so there are very small pieces. Return to soup pot with the liquid. Sprinkle with Parmesan if desired. -- My Word in FERGUS/HARLINGEN http://www.mompeagram.homestead.com/index.html |

What the hell is in it? I saw some at Wal-mart the other day and wondered the same thing... Fat-free half and half seems to be an oxymoron to me.

Peanuts added taste, and the perception of richness. |

You can also used 2% canned milk and it works too. |

Regular H&H has 130 calories, 2% has about 60 per half cup, like the fat free H&H. Leave the flour out and used puree'd broccoli stems, and save another 100 calories. Not trying to be rude, just doing the math. 160 calories equates to a handful of M&Ms. I'd rather have chocolate than flour. Dawn |

What the hell is in it? We had this discussion once before and they use corn syrup to thicken it up, as I recall. Less fat, but more simple carbs. No thanks... -- Jani in WA |
