A full-flavoured soup loaded with calcium from broccoli, beans, milk and cheese hits the spot on a cold night. For a nondairy version, omit the cheese and milk; add enough water to thin soup.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 4 cups coarsely chopped broccoli, (about 1 bunch)
  • 2-1/2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup drained canned white pea beans
  • 1-1/2 cups shredded light Cheddar-style cheese
  • 1 cup 1% milk
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Preparation

In large heavy saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; cook onion and garlic, stirring, for about 3 minutes or until softened. Add broccoli, stock, potato and beans; bring to boil.

Stir in half of the cheese, along with milk, salt and pepper; cook over medium-low heat, stirring, just until cheese is melted. Ladle soup into bowls; sprinkle with remaining cheese.
