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

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. Add skim milk to cover all the vegetables.

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

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

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.
