Broccoli is one of my favourite veg! I love it simply boiled with my meals but this is another favourite way to enjoy it – in soup!

This is a creamy, comforting soup. You can replace the cream cheese with fat free fromage frais but I personally prefer to use my healthy extra A choice or syns on cream cheese as it makes it more indulging. Another alternative which is equally tasty is the Laughing Cow Blue Cheese triangles, you can have 5 as a healthy extra A choice or count them as 1.5 syns each. 2 triangles are plenty for this soup.

Syns: FREE (if using cream cheese as part of healthy extra A choice)

Serves: 2

Time Taken: 20-25 minutes

Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

• 1 whole fresh broccoli, chopped
• 1 medium baking potato, peeled and chopped
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 vegetable stock pot or cube
• 2 x 35g tubs of Philadelphia light cream cheese (healthy extra A choice)

Method

Place the broccoli, potato, onion and stock pot in a pan of water (place enough water to cover the veg) and boil for about 15 minutes till the potatoes are cooked.

Once all the veg are cooked add the cream cheese and blitz.
