Ingredients
-
3 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
3 cups of brocolli heads, chopped
3 cups of vegetable stock/bouillon
1 tbsp ground black pepper
100 grams low fat cream cheese
Directions
1. Prepare stock - use 3 cups of water and 2 stock cubes and pour into a large, heavy bottomed sauce pan.
2. Peel potatoes and cut into chunks. Chop brocolli. Add both potatoes and brocolli to the stock.
3. Bring all ingredients to the boil and allow to cook thoroughly until potatoes are softened.
4. Add pepper and stir thoroughly.
5. Remove from the heat and, using a hand blender, blend ingredients until smooth.
6. Add cream cheese and either blend again or stir through mixture until smooth.
7. Serve with crusty bread and garnish of parsley if desired.
*note - soup can be made without cream cheese to reduce calories or for lactose intolerance. Blue cheese is also a tasty substitute but calories will need to be substituted for cream cheese
