Broccoli Soup
Vegetable Purée Soup
There's really nothing more comforting in winter than a bowl of soup. I've never made soup, but I love vegetable purées and I was feeling inspired.
I had never done this before, so I did everything intuitively and used whatever vegetables looked good when I was shopping.
Lowfat Broccoli and Cheese Soup
I love broccoli and cheese soup but it can be extremly fattening, I found that subsituting some stuff actually cut some calories and you cant really tell. Enjoy! 1 quart (4 cups) water 6 cups broccoli florets 1 cup chopped onion 1 clove minced garlic 1 cup plain nonfat yogurt 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 2 (10.5 ounce) cans reduced sodium chicken broth 3/4 cup water 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper 1/8 teaspoon pepper 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese Bring 1 quart water to boil in large soup pot.2 Ingredient Recipes
My mother is a reader of Woman's Day Magazine (whose recipes I usually love) and she passed on these 2 ingredient recipe cards to me. Sure, some of them are a little odd and I will probably never, ever attempt, but there were a few that immediately grabbed my attention and I can't wait to try out! (Pineapple with coconut sorbet...:DROOL:)

Broccoli Chicken Divan
Hehe. Can you tell that I'd rather look at recipes today than work? Well, on with the show!
Slow Cooker Chicken Divan
I've probably said this about a thousand times before and pretty much everyone who knows me is aware of this fact, but I feel the need to state it again:
I hate mayonnaise.
I hate the smell, the texture, the taste, absolutely everything about it. Usually people have to sneak it into my meals and not tell me just so I'll eat it.

This time the sad umbrella was not planned. It just happened to be in the photo. Has absolutely nothing to do with the outfit, but it reminded me of Mary Poppins.
Broccoli Casserole
I used this recipe for Broccoli Casserole last year on Thanksgiving and it was so good I had to make it for my family dinner on Christmas! 1 16 ounce package frozen chopped broccoli 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/2 cup processed cheese sauce (I use Cheez Whiz) 2 eggs 1 10.75 ounce can condensed cream of mushroom soup (or you could use cream of chicken) 1/2 cup of crushed Ritz crackers (or Townhouse, whatever you have) Mix broccoli, mayonnaise, processed cheese, eggs and mushroom soup. Then sprinkle bread crumbs on top.White Bean Escarole Soup
White Bean Escarole Soup
adapted from Enchanted Broccoli Forest by Mollie Katzen
The recipe calls for escarole, but you can substitute any green - spinach, kale, chard, collards - or a combination. You can use canned white beans (2 15-oz. cans, rinsed thoroughly) or dried beans (start with 1-1/2 cups).
