If you love soups with a cream base, such as cream of broccoli or cream of cauliflower, but they go right to your hips, try this low-calorie, low-cholesterol version instead. Add this to my Recipe Box.

Instructions

1

Cook vegetable until done, following package directions for either stove top of microwave.

2

If vegetable was cooked in microwave, place cooked vegetable (minus liquid from cooking) in pan on stove top. If vegetable was cooked on stove top, drain liquid from pan.

3

Add skim milk to cover all the vegetables.

4

Add salt and pepper to taste and the 1 tsp. of dry chicken bouillon.

5

Cook on top of stove until milk gets hot, not scalded.

6

If soup needs to be thickened, add a tablespoon of cornstarch to a little water and mix together well (the easiest way is to shake it up together in a jar or bottle). Pour the mixture into the soup. Stir constantly until desired thickness is achieved.
