Broccoli Potato Cheese Soup - Weight Watchers

"This is a low-fat recipe I got out of one of my moms weight watchers cookbook and I've been making it for years. The DH loves it and it's great to make on cold days and fine for big portions. SPECIAL NOTE: This soup can easily be modified. Add more ham and cheese if you’d like, or add cubed chicken or Turkey instead of ham. If you add more veggies and need more water to boil them, use 2 bouillon cubes to every cup of water you add and 2 Tablespoons of Flour to every cup of milk to thicken it up. I serve the soup with Cheddar Cheese Popovers. NOTE: If you are doing the 2012 version of WW, it has 11 points per serving as written."

  1. I got 8 points on my ww calculator
     
  2. Just an FYI for WW member, used the ww website and points are this: for 2 serving- 7pts /serving. For 4 servings-3pts/serving. I plan on trying this soon and will rate it then. Sounds delicious.
     
  3. I left out the ham and it was very tasty!
     
  4. This is a wonderfully wicked tasting soup to be so light! This is definitely the kind of comfort food called for by frigid Alaska winter nights. It's just a bonus that I don't have to feel guilt-laden after eating it! I did saute the veggies in a bit of cooking spray before adding the remaining ingredients and added 1 can of fat free evaporated milk to make it even creamier. Thanks Mrs. Ambrosia for a winning recipe.
     
  5. My husband and I cook a lot and enjoy trying new recipes. It is VERY rare that we will make the same recipe more than once. My hubby asks me to make this recipe every time it rains or snows!! I do customize it a little... I add more broccoli, cheese (fresh shredded cheddar) and ham than the recipe calls for and I also add 1/2 a large jalapeno.

Tweaks

  1. My husband and I really enjoyed this soup! Will definitely be making this again soon!<br/><br/>I used 4c water and 2c milk (staying with the 2 tbsp flour per cup of milk and 2 boullion cubes per cup of water) and 2 oz canned chicken instead of ham since I didn't have any. I only had regular velveeta so had to use that. I ended up with 4 generous servings with a PointsPlus value of 7.
     
  2. Very good! I used frozen broccoli florets and cooked them slightly before adding them to the pot. Used 1/2 C. low fat sharp cheddar cheese, low fat milk and 2 TBS real bacon bits instead of ham. Turned out very good. I figured the ww pts with these adjustments and it came to 3pts if you divide the soup in to 4, or 4pts if you divide it into 3 servings.
