I found this recipe on eatingwell.com, and it is SO delicious!! I paired it with a grilled cheese (on light bread w/ FF cheese, of course!) and an apple, and it made for a perfectly satisfying and filling lunch. The original recipe called for shredded sharp cheddar, but I subbed in fat free shredded cheddar to cut down on fat & calories. Also, the recipe originally made 6 1-cup servings. However, since I used fat free cheese, I changed the servings to 4 1.5-cup servings without changing the calories per serving very much at all...but you can do what fits you best .

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 (14 ounce) can reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth or 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

Directions

1
Bring broth and water to a boil in a medium sized sauce pan over high heat.
2
Add broccoli, and cook until tender (about 8 minutes).
3
Stir in beans, and continue to cook until warmed through (about 1 minute).
4
Add half of the mixture to a blender (or food processor) along with half of the cheese and puree.
5
Repeat with the other half of the mixture and cheese.
6
Serve warm & enjoy!
