5 Ingredient Low Fat Spicy Broccoli Cheese Soup






Say What?  A low fat broccoli cheese soup?  This soup is really good if you enjoy eating broccoli cheese soup, but are trying to watch your figure.  This soup only has 5 ingredients and takes about 30 minutes to make.

Ingredients:
16oz frozen broccoli
1 can Rotel (diced tomatoes with chilies)  (I used mild...because I am a wimp...)
14 oz of Chicken Broth
4 cloves garlic, minced
10oz of Velveta (I used reduced fat/2% fat) cubed.

Instructions:
In a large soup pot, combine broccoli, chicken broth, rotel, and garlic.  Simmer for 20-25 minutes or until broccoli is soft but still tender.
Add cubed Velveeta and stir until cheese is melted.  You CAN add more cheese, it will not harm the recipe, just will add more fat content.  I found that 10oz is pretty cheesey...The soup will not be as thick as a typical broccoli cheese soup, but still very tasty.



Enjoy :-)
