Crockpot Broccoli Cheese Soup for Weight Watchers

I'm guessing all Weight Watchers have incorporated soup into their daily diets. Filling up on meals with a low point value keeps us all on track!

I adapted my Crockpot Potato Soup to create its close cousin... in which Broccoli is the star ingredient.  It's creamy with minimal fat, filling and good for you. The best part is it's only 3 points per 1 cup serving! If you like broccoli, you'll love it!

Makes 10 - 1 cup servings
WW Pts+: 3 per serving

Ingredients:

14 oz. bag of frozen broccoli florets
1 small onion, chopped
3 cups water
3 cubes or teaspoons of chicken bouillon
1 can Campbell's Cheddar Cheese Soup (Healthy Request)
8 Oz. package Neufchatel cream cheese
1 cup skim milk
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

• Place broccoli and chopped onions into crock pot
• Heat water. When hot, add bouillon and mix to create broth
• Pour hot broth over broccoli and onions in crock pot.
• Add soup, 1/2 teas salt and a few shakes of black pepper
• Cook on high for and hour and a half or until onions are cooked.
• Turn heat to low and add cream cheese. Cook another half hour until cheese has melted, stirring occasionally
• Add milk and stir into soup mixture.
• Cook an additional 10-15 minutes until heated through.

 
Tip: You can use 2 cans of chicken broth in place of the bouillon if preferred.  Adjust salt accordingly as the bouillon is usually saltier than the broth. Also, I found some of the broccoli florets a little too big for a soup spoon, so after the soup had cooked 1/2 hour I spooned out the larger florets and cut into smaller pieces.
