5 Ingredient Broccoli Soup image

I have always wanted to make a cream of soup all on my own since I always try to eat healthy but most all cream soups have butter and heavy cream and even flour so to make it easier for me and others I made it my own and got a rich and delicious soup that only includes 5 ingredients! This is a soup that you don't have to worry about counting calories because I substituted the bad ingredients with the good and savory.

Time 25m

Yield 4 bowls, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 heads broccoli
1 carrot
1/2 sweet red onion
3 cups low sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup evaporated milk
olive oil
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Chop the broccoli into 1 inch pieces and slice the carrot into rounds.
  • Chop 1/2 of a red onion or the whole thing if its a small one.
  • Heat the olive oil, in a pot big enough to hold all the vegetables, over medium heat and saute the onion first for 1 minute.
  • Add the rest of the vegetables.
  • Season with salt and pepper(use white pepper if you have it) and cook until the onion turns translucent. About 10 minutes.
  • Add just enough chicken broth to cover the broccoli. (I like to use homemade chicken broth whenever I can.)
  • Bring to a simmer and cook until the broccoli is soft and tender.
  • Remove from heat and cool for a minute or 2.
  • Blend the soup in batches so it doesnt explode and make a mess.
  • Transfer the soup into a new clean pot and stir in the milk.
  • If you want it to be thinner add more chicken stock and season with salt and pepper.
