Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 4 cups nonfat milk
• 1 can fat-free condensed milk
• 2 medium yellow onions, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon parsley
• 1 teaspoon basil
• 1 teaspoon ground sage
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Recipe

• 1 in a large saucepan, bring milk and condensed milk to a simmer, over med-low heat.
• 2 stir constantly to avoid scalding.
• 3 add basil, sage, nutmeg, salt to taste, pepper, garlic, and onion.
• 4 place cornstarch in a bowl and add about 3-4 tbsp of the hot milk.
• 5 stir until smooth.
• 6 this will help you add the cornstarch to the soup without making lumps.
• 7 slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the soup, stirring constantly, until you like the thickness.
• 8 if you accidentally make it too thick, just add more milk.
• 9 if the cornstarch gets lumpy, use a whisk.
• 10 add the broccolli and let the soup simmer, still stirring, for about 10 minutes.
• 11 this will leave the broccolli with a little firmness, but if you like your broccolli softer, just simmer a little longer.
