Broccoli Cheese Soup - Ww
"I've been experimenting with reduced fat velveeta cheese in soup and came up with this yummy soup. The cheese is not overwhelming, but it does provide a creaminess to the soup. The flavors are very simple, not fancy in any way - but it tastes great and is very low in calories too! WW pt = 2/serving"

We've made this recipe often and love it! We don't have canned tomatoes with chilies in the UK so I use salsa from a jar, and the more the better! Many thanks for posting! -
Easy to make and healthy soup! I used fresh broccoli, otherwise made as directed. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the tomatoes went with this soup. We enjoyed this very much - thanks for sharing the recipe! -
I liked it a lot, but i agree, it is better a little cooler. I am really fond of soups and this one is a keeper. Made for ZWT 6

This is a very nice simple soup. I used fresh broccoli florets with peeled stems in preparing this. Do not make the mistake of eating it scorching hot. Let it cool some, so you can really appreciate the simple flavors. When it was hot, I did add S&P but after it cooled I did not need any. Thanks for posting. Made for *1 2 3 Hits Wonders Game 2010* -
This was good and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written and we all enjoyed it.

<br>I have been a member of Zaar for awhile now and found that I love it! I have tried so many recipes and many new foods that I never would have without Zaar.
<br>
<br>I work full-time at a university in Wisconsin, it allows me to travel a bit and see the rest of the state, I work with a lot a great people and am really happy in my job.
<br>
<br>When I'm not working, I spend time with my hubby and 12 year old son. My son has picked up my love for cooking, a few of the things he makes are - naan bread, cookies, and quick breads, I'm so proud of him! In our family we also have two cocker spaniels, our puppy Laci (above) and Peanut, that we adore like they were our children.
<br>
<br>We live in an old farm house that we are remodeling (did the library and the kitchen so far....) on the outskirts of town. Close enough where my hubby can bike to work in the summer, but far enough away from campus that we don't have to lock down our lawn ornaments in fear of college pranks!
