Cream Of Broccoli Soup Low Fat


In my post christmas quest to lose 20 lbs, i came up with this recipe! Besides being quite tasty, its economical - enjoy the tender broccoli florets as a side one day & use the tougher stalks to make this soup.

Steps


Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Saute onion& garlic until softened , about 5 minutes.
Peel the broccoli stalks& cut into 1 / 2 inch rounds.
Saute , stirring occasionally for an additional 5 minutes.
Stir in broth , water , oats& seasonings.
Bring to a boil , reduce heat& simmer for about 15 minutes or until broccoli is tender.
Being careful with this hot liquid , puree in batches in a blender.
Return to the pot& test for seasonings.

Ingredients


olive oil, onion, garlic, broccoli stem, vegetable stock, water, rolled oats, salt, white pepper, curry powder
