 Posted: Oct Mon 29, 2007 9:38 am Post subject: Broccoli Cheese Soup |
 |
|
I had this for dinner last night and thought I'd share. It's one of my favorite recipes. I've had it for years, and sadly don't know where I got it from so I can't give credit to the creator.
Add chunks of cooked chicken and you're done eating for HOURS!
Broccoli Cheese Soup
10 - 12 oz broccoli, microwafe until crisp tender
8 oz block of cream cheese
1 can of chicken broth
6 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
1 med. onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 Tbsp. butter OR bacon grease (my favorite)
2-3 cups shredded cheddar cheese (sharp is my favorite or a mixture of your favorite cheeses)
Salt and pepper to taste
Dash of cayenne pepper (optional)
Whisk cream cheese and chicken broth together over low heat until smooth. Meanwhile, in a pot sautée onion and garlic in 2T. butter or bacon grease until almost transparent. Add broccoli and cook for 10 more minutes. Add cream cheese/chicken broth mixture and 2 cups of cheese, salt and pepper, and cayenne pepper if using. Heat through until cheese completely melts. Serve with crumbled bacon on top.
I usually run half the soup through my mini processor or blender because I like a smoother soup. You can also thin out with heavy cream/chicken broth mixture if you like a less chunky type soup.
Unfortunately, I don't know what the carb count for this would be.
Enjoy!
Angie

Ok, I made this soup just a few minutes ago...I even fried some bacon just so I could have the full effect.
WHOA. Talk about delicious!!!!  I ate a HUGE bowl! LOL Probably for dinner, I will roast some chicken and put it in the leftover soup...
Thanks for the recipe, I know you posted awhile ago, but I just wanted to let you (and everyone) know that this soup is AWESOME!!!! |
