Invention time! So, I can't take all the credit - as I mixed a bunch of recipes I found online. But this is so good. I want to make tons. It would be great in a bread bowl, would be great with cheese added to it - but I love it just the way it is too. Plus if you don't add cheese it's only 200 calories a serving!
Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter
1/2 - 3/4 large yellow onion - diced
1 head of broccoli - cut into small pieces - those crown flower things
3 large carrots grated (it didn't take too long to just use the cheese grater)
2 1/2 cups fat free half and half (I'm sure you could use cream or non fat free)
2 cans of chicken broth
salt and pepper
1/2 t of nutmeg
STEP ONE: chop up/grate everything
STEP TWO: melt butter in large pan
STEP THREE: saute onion for 3 - 5 minutes
STEP FOUR: add liquids and simmer for 20 minutes
STEP FIVE: add broccoli, carrots, spices and let simmer for 30 minutes
STEP SIX: blend with immersion blender, or put in the blender etc.
