Steps:
- In a heavy stockpot over medium heat, sauté onion and garlic in butter for 2-3 minutes; add flour and cook, stirring, for another 2-3 minutes until bubbly; gradually whisk in chicken broth and half & half; cook, stirring frequently, until thickened.
- Meanwhile, in a separate pan, add water to broccoli and bring just to boiling (the broccoli should be only partially cooked and not soft) then remove from heat; do not drain cooking water from broccoli.
- Add parmesan cheese to soup-base in stockpot; cook over low heat, stirring, just until cheese is melted; add cooked broccoli along with its cooking water, chicken, seasonings, and bow tie pasta to the stockpot; heat through.
- NOTES: 6 ounces bow tie pasta equals 2 1/4 cups before cooking and 3 cups diced chicken breast equals 1 ½ pounds before cooking. Also, decrease the salt by half if you happen to substitute full-sodium chicken broth in this recipe.
LIGHT CHICKEN BROCCOLI ALFREDO SOUP (LOWER FAT)
When I ran across Chef #55221's recipe for Recipe #155375, I thought it sounded like something my family would love. Being on a "lower fat" diet, there was no way I could make it as written though. I was really pleased with how well the recipe modified to meet my dietary needs. It was still rich and delicious, and everyone loved it. Here is my lightened up version.

Steps:
- In a heavy stockpot over medium heat, sauté onion and garlic in olive oil for 2-3 minutes. Add light butter and 1/4 cup flour and cook, stirring, for another 2-3 minutes until bubbly. Add remaining 1/2 cup of flour to a small amount of chicken broth and stir to remove lumps. Gradually whisk in flour and broth combo, plus remaining chicken broth and half & half; cook, stirring frequently, until thickened.
- Meanwhile, steam broccoli (I use the steamer bag in the microwave) or cook broccoli in a separate pan with 2 cups of water just until form and not soft. Remove from heat and do not drain cooking water from broccoli.
- Add Parmesan cheese topping to soup-base in stockpot; cook over low heat, stirring, just until cheese is melted; add steamed broccoli and 2 cups of water (or cooked broccoli along with its cooking water), chicken, seasonings, and bow tie pasta to the stockpot; heat through.

Tips for Making the Best Alfredo Soup:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, flavorful cheese, and rich cream will make a big difference in the taste of your soup.
- Don't skimp on the butter: Butter adds a rich, creamy flavor to the soup. If you're trying to cut calories, you can use a little less butter, but don't omit it altogether.
- Cook the vegetables until they're tender: You want the vegetables to be soft and flavorful, but not mushy. Cook them over medium heat until they're just tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your soup. Use a flavorful cheese that melts well, such as Parmesan, Gruyère, or Cheddar.
- Don't overheat the soup: Once you've added the cheese and cream, don't let the soup boil. Overheating can cause the cheese to curdle and the cream to separate.
- Serve the soup immediately: Alfredo soup is best served hot and fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat it over low heat, stirring constantly, until warmed through.
Conclusion:
Alfredo soup is a delicious and comforting dish that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make the best Alfredo soup that will surely impress your family and friends.
