Provolone and Broccoli soup

I have this one memorized, but I figured I probably better put it down somewhere to share!  It's super easy and I figured the other day that this could be considered "Skinny" as it has little sodium for the sodium conscious.

1 cup water
1 cup chopped broccoli
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 Tbs of Chickin Boulion (Don't have to use if you don't want to)

Cream Sauce
2 Tbs Butter
2 Tbs Flour
1 Can Evaporated milk
1/2 - 1 tsp of garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 C. Provolone Cheese

Boil water, Broccoli, boulion, and onion in pan for about 10 minutes.  Set aside.  For Cream sauce melt butter and add flour until smooth.  Add evaporated milk and warm until thicker.  Then add your broccoli mixture with Cream sauce and stir until smooth add seasonings in recipe and others if desired.  **At this point if you want a THICK sauce add 2 Tbs of Corn Starch mixed with 2 Tbs cold water** After your sauce is as thick as you want add your provolone cheese and stir until completely melted.  Serve in bowls and enjoy!  Makes about 3-4 servings.


The beauty about this easy recipe is that it's hard to mess up AND if you don't want the onion flavor you can add onion powder.  You can also add any cheese you want to make it your own or leave it completely out!  It still tastes great without cheese in it!!
