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:
- Choose lean chicken breast: This will help to keep the soup lower in fat.
- Use low-fat or nonfat milk: This will also help to reduce the fat content of the soup.
- Use a light Alfredo sauce: There are many light Alfredo sauces available at most grocery stores.
- Add vegetables: Vegetables will add flavor and nutrients to the soup. Broccoli is a great choice, but you can also add other vegetables such as carrots, celery, or zucchini.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
- Serve with a side of whole-wheat bread or a salad: This will help to make a complete meal.
Conclusion:
This light chicken broccoli Alfredo soup is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy a classic comfort food. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this soup a try!
