I love soup and especially creamy ones! When the weather gets colder and there's a chill in the air, there's nothing nicer than curling up with a steaming cup of yum. This recipe is great for anyone but we think it's especially great for pregnant moms. It's a great way for mommas to get their calcium and a good dose of veggies, too! But, really, we all need those, right? So, pregnant or not, enjoy this delicious treat!
Creamy Cheese and Vegetable Soup
2 Tbsp. butter
1 Tbsp. whole wheat flour
1 tsp. salt
2 cups whole milk
2 Tbsp. fresh chopped parsley
1 tsp. dried onion flakes
2 cups any mixture of lightly steamed veggies (try chopped cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, spinach, etc)
½ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
ground peppercorn to taste
In a large saucepan over low-medium heat, melt the butter. Add the flour and salt. Stir for 3 minutes. Gradually stir in the milk until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the parsley, onion flakes and vegetables. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then immediately lower the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Melt in the cheddar cheese. Add peppercorn and serve steaming hot.
Makes 2 large servings or 4 small servings
