Healthy Broccoli, White Bean & Cheddar Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (14 ounce) can reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth or (14 ounce) can vegetable broth
1 cup water
1 lb broccoli (I used a 1-lb bag of frozen chopped broccoli)
1 (14 ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 cup shredded fat-free cheddar cheese

Preparation

Bring broth and water to a boil in a medium sized sauce pan over high heat.
Add broccoli, and cook until tender (about 8 minutes).
Stir in beans, and continue to cook until warmed through (about 1 minute).
Add half of the mixture to a blender (or food processor) along with half of the cheese and puree.
Repeat with the other half of the mixture and cheese.
Serve warm & enjoy!
