Broccoli Cheese Soup

Last night I made the most delicious Broccoli Cheese Soup for dinner and for those of you who tried my Cheeseburger Soup Recipe all you do is omit the Hamburger and substitute 1lb chopped Broccoli. Below is the Cheeseburger Soup Recipe again. You have to try it with the Broccoli though its awesome.

Ingredients:
cooking spray or 1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium garlic clove, minced
1 medium onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 medium celery rib, chopped
1 lb uncooked lean ground beef (with 7% fat) OR 1 lb Chopped Broccoli (fresh or frozen)
2 tablespoons flour
3 cups chicken broth, divided
1 cup low-fat evaporated milk
8 ounces kraft Velveeta reduced fat cheese product, cubed
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
24 baked corn tortilla chips, crumbled
Directions: 1) Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat for about 30 seconds.2) Add garlic, onion and celery to skillet; cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are tender, about 5 to 10 minutes.3) Coat a 3-quart or larger slow cooker with cooking spray; spoon in vegetables.4) Place same skillet over medium-high heat and brown beef, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 5 to 6 minutes; pour off any liquid and add meat to slow cooker.5) In a small cup, combine flour and 1/2 cup of broth; stir until lump-free.6) Pour flour mixture into same skillet; add remaining 2 1/2 cups of broth.7) Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits in bottom of skillet with a wooden spoon, and then pour into slow cooker; stir in evaporated milk, cheese, paprika, salt and pepper.8) Cover slow cooker and cook on low setting for 2 hours.9) Serve soup topped with crumbled chips.10) Yields about 3/4 cup of soup and 3 tablespoons of chips per serving. 8 Servings
