Cream Of Broccoli Soup But Lower Fat!

• 1 (10 ounce) can low-fat chicken broth
• 1 1/4 cups water
• 2 1/4 cups broccoli, chopped include the stems
• 1/2 - 1 cup onion, diced
• 1/2 cup evaporated skim milk
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese or 1/2 cup pecorino cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup carrot, cut up (optional)

1. Combine broth, water, broccoli and onion (carrots if using) and bring to a boil in a large saucepan.
2. Reduce heat to simmer for 15 minute.
3. (if you choose you can puree 1/2 or all of soup mixture at this point in a blender) I do 1/2 as I like the chunks of broccoli in my sup.
4. Slowly add evaporated milk to soup mixture or med.-low heat stirring as you add. Add pepper and cheese.
5. Let cool a few minutes then serve.
6. add additional pepper to taste.
7. this is good as a left over as well.
