I’m so excited to be sharing this recipe with you today! I love soup season, and it’s either here or will be soon wherever you are. Cheesy broccoli soup has been one of my favorite soups since my childhood. However it’s pretty loaded with lots of cheese and fat. But get this – one serving of this recipe is 17 C 8 F 29 P, I’d say that’s pretty macro friendly!
I’ve lightened this classic up bit in the fat department- but don’t worry – it still packs flavor and comfort! I’ve also added some chicken because #protein! My secret in lightening this up is to use low fat cream cheese or (Neufchatel cheese) and fresh grated parmesan. Parmesan packs a strong flavor – so you don’t have to use as much cheese, but you still get a delicious result!
My whole family gobbled this up! It makes a big-ish batch – and is great for leftovers. Feel free to half the recipe if that suits you better! Enjoy!
This was delicious! I pureed the veggies to have a thicker consistency and added some fresh spinach. Huge hit!
