Broccoli-Cheese Chowder

From EatingWell: Winter 2004, The EatingWell Diabetes Cookbook (2005)

This satisfying remake of broccoli chowder benefits from the creamy texture of cooked potatoes and smooth, tangy reduced-fat sour cream instead of getting its richness from as much as a cup each of cream and cheese. Not only is the flavor vibrant, but a single serving gives you over half of the daily recommendation for vitamin C.

READER'S COMMENT:

"I love this soup, as it was a hit with my family as well. However, instead of doing the hand mash of the veggies I did a mid-level puree of about 1/3 and I added more chicken stock, as a "chowder" was just too chunky. Overall the flavors...

Tasted Great and was easy to make. Only modifications I made was I used extra broccoli, a little bit more than 1 cup of cheese, and some ground pepper to season the veggies as they were sauteing at the beginning. Will make again!!

Awesome recipe. I made everything exactly as the recipe, except at the end I added a teaspoon of black pepper, a 1/2 teaspoon of more cayenne pepper, and a little more salt. Super yummy! Thanks!

Made this with some homemade chicken stock rather than canned. The only change I made was to use regular cheddar cheese (only used about 3/4 cup) and shredded it on the fine shred side of my grater. No clumping issues at all. Instead of only mashing 2 cups, I ran my stick blender through it until it was a chunky puree. It was also delicious reheated for lunch the next day with some Italian bread.

i make this soup from time to time at home. Everyone just loves it. I omit the cheese and milk. Instead i use the Cambell's Cheddar soup. I gives a much smoother taste than trying to get the cheese to melt in just right. Also, adding a little cauliflower really adds a great element to the soup. and for a totally different recipe, ive even boiled potato cubes and once cooked added to the broccoli soup. Sprinkle with bacon bits and chopped green onion, and its a Loaded-Baked Potatoe Soup...(great for football night)
