As a chef, I suggest the principle of less is more!. Great broccoli soup needs broccoli, water and salt to taste!. Boil the broccoli in enough water to cover it, (yes, stems and all but leaves)!. when the broccoliis almost tender, ladle out most of the water and keep it for thinning the soup!. Use a food processor to atomise the broccoli and bring back to the boil!. Add the broth as needed to get a creamy cconsistency Then add salt to taste and my "secret ingredient" a teaspoon or two of lime juice!. There's no fat oil or complications!. Bon Appetite!.
also how about a nice pumpkin leek and potato soup!. The ratio should be 5 pumpkin, 2 leek 1 potato!. boil, atomise get the creamy consitency etc etc!.!.!.
To give these soup a nice garnish sqirt some low fat sour cream or low fat yoghurt!. (Admittedly I use full fat cream but the amount to be used is minimal!.
Another little "secret" always serve soup piping hot, a nice fresh Keiser roll would make the dish a very nice entree'Www@FoodAQ@Com

I like to use this basis for my beef vegetable soup, but you can just omit the beef I guess!. Take a big jar of V8 and add about 2 or 3 beef boulion cubes and 1 packet of french onion soup mix!. Add a big bag of your favorite mixed vegetables, (add this all to your crockpot or big pot on the stove)!. Always turns out good for us!. If you want to use beef (just for future reference, just add 1lb cooked ground beef!. simple enough but soo yummy!. It's something about all the different veggie flavors in the V8, and it doesnt taste like tomato juice!Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can put virtually any point-free veg in but the best are the ones with a strong flavour, so carrots, onions, tomatoes, celery are good, marrow, courgettes etc aren't!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
