Ingredients

• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 cup fat-free evaporated milk
• 1 cup reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 spray olive oil spray
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons paprika

Directions

Step 1

Spray a large pot with olive oil spray and heat over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.

Step 3

Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.

Step 4

Add the broccoli florets to the pot and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water to form a slurry. Slowly add this to the simmering soup, stirring continuously until the soup starts to thicken.

Step 6

Lower the heat and stir in the fat-free evaporated milk, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 7

Using an immersion blender, partially blend the soup, leaving some broccoli pieces for texture. Alternatively, transfer half of the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.

Step 8

Gradually add the shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese to the soup, stirring until fully melted and incorporated.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasonings if needed, then serve hot.
