Ingredients
* 1 cup of 2% milk* 2 cups of water* 1/2 cup of grated cheese, any variety (I use cheddar)* Approx. 1.5 cups of frozen broccoli* Approx. 1.5 cups of frozen peas* Approx. 2 cups of frozen green beans* 1 tbsp of creme fraiche (if unavailable, use sour cream)* 1 medium, raw potato, washed and diced into small pieces with skin* 1/4 cup of raw, shredded carrots* Another approx. 1/2 cup of frozen broccoli florets* 1 tsp Kosher salt* 1 tbsp fresh ground pepper* 1 tsp onion powder(Optional: garnish with a little more cheese)
Steam broccoli, peas, and green beans until al dente (tender, yet still firm). In the microwave, this takes 2-3 minutes, covered with a tablespoon of water.
If you have a good blender, combine water, milk, sour cream, and steamed vegetables. Make sure to save the other broccoli for later. Puree in blender, and then transfer to a dutch oven. If you would rather use a hand blender, combine water, milk, sour cream and steamed vegetables, heat over medium heat until hot, and then puree with hand blender.
Season, and over medium heat bring soup to a simmer. Add raw carrots, diced potato, and frozen broccoli florets. Continue to simmer for another 25-30 minutes, stirring periodically to avoid sticking or burning. Soup is done when potatoes, carrots, and broccoli are tender. Makes 8 1-cup servings at only 113 calories per serving. Enjoy!
