I often leave out butter and saute in a pan sprayed with Pam
I use my stick blender to puree
Since I live alone I don't always add the milk when making it. I freeze in individual portions, and add a little milk when reheating.
I usually use low sodium, low fat chicken broth, but couldn't find it in the ingredients list.

I haven't made it lately since I just recently found the recipe again, so I'm not sure of the serving size, I think it is about 1 1/2 cups.
Add shredded cheese if you like, but this is not included in the nutrition information
