VIRTUALLY FAT FREE CREAM OF BROCCOLI SOUP
This recipe is from one of my favorite cookbooks: "Fabulous Fat Free Cooking" by Lynn Fischer. I thought, since most people bring in the New Year with the resolution of healthy eating, exercise and weightloss, I would help by posting a few of my favorite fat-free recipes. This soup has 0.9 grams of fat per 1 cup serving and 113 calories.
