LIGHT CHICKEN BROCCOLI ALFREDO SOUP (LOWER FAT)
When I ran across Chef #55221's recipe for Recipe #155375, I thought it sounded like something my family would love. Being on a "lower fat" diet, there was no way I could make it as written though. I was really pleased with how well the recipe modified to meet my dietary needs. It was still rich and delicious, and everyone loved it. Here is my lightened up version.

Steps:
- In a heavy stockpot over medium heat, sauté onion and garlic in olive oil for 2-3 minutes. Add light butter and 1/4 cup flour and cook, stirring, for another 2-3 minutes until bubbly. Add remaining 1/2 cup of flour to a small amount of chicken broth and stir to remove lumps. Gradually whisk in flour and broth combo, plus remaining chicken broth and half & half; cook, stirring frequently, until thickened.
- Meanwhile, steam broccoli (I use the steamer bag in the microwave) or cook broccoli in a separate pan with 2 cups of water just until form and not soft. Remove from heat and do not drain cooking water from broccoli.
- Add Parmesan cheese topping to soup-base in stockpot; cook over low heat, stirring, just until cheese is melted; add steamed broccoli and 2 cups of water (or cooked broccoli along with its cooking water), chicken, seasonings, and bow tie pasta to the stockpot; heat through.

- Meanwhile, in a separate pan, add water to broccoli and bring just to boiling (the broccoli should be only partially cooked and not soft) then remove from heat; do not drain cooking water from broccoli.
- Add parmesan cheese to soup-base in stockpot; cook over low heat, stirring, just until cheese is melted; add cooked broccoli along with its cooking water, chicken, seasonings, and bow tie pasta to the stockpot; heat through.
- NOTES: 6 ounces bow tie pasta equals 2 1/4 cups before cooking and 3 cups diced chicken breast equals 1 ½ pounds before cooking. Also, decrease the salt by half if you happen to substitute full-sodium chicken broth in this recipe.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, season the chicken with the salt and pepper and toss to coat.
- In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in batches, cook the chicken, turning the pieces halfway through, until lightly browned on all sides, 5-6 minutes per batch. If the pot seems dry, add more olive oil as needed between batches. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the shallots. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Add the flour, stirring to coat the aromatics. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the flour is just cooked but has not yet started to brown.
- Pour the white wine into the pot to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Add the chicken stock and season with salt. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Once boiling, stir in the fettuccine and cook for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot or clumping together.
- Add the chicken and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Add the Parmesan cheese, a couple tablespoons at a time, stirring well between each addition to ensure the cheese melts smoothly. Stir in the spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes, until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. The soup will thicken slightly as it cools.
- Ladle into bowls and serve warm, garnished with more pepper and Parmesan cheese.
- Enjoy!
