Following weight watchers is really nice because there are SO many family friendly options out there. One of my favorite websites is www.skinnytaste.com she has such great ideas and recipes that are all centered around weight watchers.
1 small onion, chopped
1 medium carrot, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable broth (low sodium)
1 cup fat free milk
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1/4 teaspoon salt & pepper
4 cups broccoli florets, chopped into small pieces
1 1/2 cups reduced fat shredded cheese
2 slices reduced fat american cheese
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese
In a large pot, melt butter. Add vegetables and saute until soft.
Add flour, salt, and pepper to the pot and stir until smooth.
Add chicken broth, milk, and potatoes and set heat to high until it comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover and cook until potatoes are soft, about 15 minutes.
Add broccoli and parmesan and stir well to incorporate. Adjust salt & pepper to taste. Cook uncovered until broccoli is soft, about 5 minutes.
Add shredded cheese and american cheese, stir well and remove from heat. Using a potato masher mash up the potatoes really well within the soup to help thicken it up.
