Broccoli Cheese soup

Yum yum! This is from cookinglight.com. Pretty simple, and quite delicious!

Ingredients:
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 (16-ounce) package broccoli florets (used frozen florets)
  • 2 1/2 cups 2% reduced-fat milk (used fat free)
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 ounces light processed cheese, cubed (such as Velveeta Light) (I couldnt find "light" so I used regular)
Directions:
  • Heat a large nonstick saucepan coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat.
  • Add onion and garlic; saute 3 minutes or until tender.
  • Add broth and broccoli. Bring broccoli mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Reduce heat to medium; cook 10 minutes.
  • Combine milk and flour, stirring with a whisk until well blended.
  • Add milk mixture to broccoli mixture. Cook 5 minutes or until slightly thick, stirring constantly.
  • Stir in pepper.
  • Remove from heat; add cheese, stirring until cheese melts.
  • Place one-third of the soup in a blender or food processor, and process until smooth. Return pureed soup mixture to pan.
