Happy St. Patrick's Day!
To be festive, I decided to try my hand at this Irish soup recipe. With just a few changes, it came out really good and was a delicious dinner for Sunday night.
Ingredients:
1 (12 oz.) bag Steam-In-Big Broccoli Florets
1 (32 oz) container reduced sodium chicken broth
3 cups mashed potatoes
2 stalks celery, chopped
3/4 yellow onion, diced
1 cup fat-free half & half
1 tsp fresh thyme
4 cups Irish Dubliner cheddar cheese, shredded
Ground pepper, to taste
What To Do:
1. Add chicken stock, broccoli, onion and celery in a large pot. Bring to boil and then simmer 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.
2. Blend broccoli/chicken stock mixture in food processor or blender and then return to pot.
3. Stir in half & half, mashed potatoes and thyme. Simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Reduce heat to low and slowly stir in the Irish shredded cheese.
Enjoy!
