Low-Fat Broccoli Soup

If you're trying to eat low-fat because of dietary needs or simply because you prefer it, your meals don't have to lack flavor. There are many tricks to making low-fat meals as scrumptious as ones that rely on oil, animal fats, or full-fat dairy to achieve creaminess and texture.

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 3/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped
  • 1 medium Yukon Gold potato, peeled and cubed
  • 4 cups broccoli, chopped
  • 2 cups low-sodium, nonfat chicken broth, or vegetable broth
  • 1 1/2 cups nonfat milk, or any plant milk

Step by step

  1. Gather the ingredients.
  2. Heat oil on medium heat in a soup pot or Dutch oven.
  3. Gently sauté the onion and celery for 3 to 4 minutes, until the onion is softened.
  4. Add the cubed potato, broccoli, broth, and milk. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender.
  5. Allow the soup to cool slightly. Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth in 2 or 3 batches.
  6. Return the blended soup to the pot and heat gently until ready to serve.
  7. Enjoy.
