Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • One package frozen chopped broccoli (or cauliflower)
  • Enough skim milk to cover
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp. dry chicken bouillon
  • cornstarch to thicken
  1. Step 1

    Cook vegetable until done, following package directions for either stove top of microwave.

  2. Step 2

    If vegetable was cooked in microwave, place cooked vegetable (minus liquid from cooking) in pan on stove top. If vegetable was cooked on stove top, drain liquid from pan.

  3. Step 3

    Add skim milk to cover all the vegetables.

  4. Step 4

    Add salt and pepper to taste and the 1 tsp. of dry chicken bouillon.

  5. Step 5

    Cook on top of stove until milk gets hot, not scalded.

  6. Step 6

    If soup needs to be thickened, add a tablespoon of cornstarch to a little water and mix together well (the easiest way is to shake it up together in a jar or bottle). Pour the mixture into the soup. Stir constantly until desired thickness is achieved.
