Healthy Broccoli, White Bean & Cheddar Soup

"I found this recipe on eatingwell.com, and it is SO delicious!! I paired it with a grilled cheese (on light bread w/ FF cheese, of course!) and an apple, and it made for a perfectly satisfying and filling lunch. The original recipe called for shredded sharp cheddar, but I subbed in fat free shredded cheddar to cut down on fat & calories. Also, the recipe originally made 6 1-cup servings. However, since I used fat free cheese, I changed the servings to 4 1.5-cup servings without changing the calories per serving very much at all...but you can do what fits you best :)."

  1. I made this a little while ago after seeing it on the Eating Well website. I was very simple and delicious. I thought it resembled a typical broccoli-cheese soup, but with a less heavy, fresh taste. Thanks!
     
  2. This was a fantastic quick and easy late-night (and light!) supper that was nutritious for the family.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Hi there :) Right now I'm a student...my major is Forensic Science, but I'm hoping to one day be a Forensic Pathologist (Think: Dr. G, Medical Examiner)...but I'm many, many years away from that. I recently moved to Pittsburgh for a year so I could be closer to/live with my boyfriend for his last year of Undergrad...then we'll both go back to NYC! I really enjoy cooking, and pretty much cook for my boyfriend and I everynight. I'm also a health nut (he is not), so I'm always looking for recipes that will satisfy both of us:) I love: browsing for new recipes, cooking, exercising, music, reading, spending time with my boyfriend, movies...etc
