This Skinny Cheesy Vegetable Chowder is a hearty chowder reduces the fat and calories (only 160 per serving) without sacrificing any flavor! Seriously delicious and so easy to make!I have a delicious Cheesy Vegetable Chowder Soup for you today.  This soup reminds me of cream of broccoli soup, which I love, but hate all the fat and calories.  This soup gives the impression of being creamy and rich, and is filled with delicious flavors.  The base of this soup (carrots, celery, onion, and garlic), is the same base that starts off this Tomato Basil Soup and this Fire-Roasted and Red Pepper Soup. I highly suggest making these (or 2 of these, which I did) at one time because your prep time will be cut in half.  Throw all the base ingredients into the Food Processor, and then divide for each soup.  These soups make large portions, and you can put half in the freezer for other meals, and then use the other halves for weeknight dinners!  BAM, two+ dinners out of the way in no time!

I have also turned this soup into a healthy version, so you don't have to feel one bit guilty when eating it.  Using skim milk, reduced fat cheese, and broth as the base, it's easy to reduce both calories and fat in this otherwise heavy soup. If you aren't counting calories then you can use the fuller fat ingredients, but really, I don't think there is any difference in taste.  I toasted up some cheesy bread for dipping, too, because it is not possible for me to eat 'chowder' without bread or crackers!

  2. Add garlic and cook 1 or 2 additional minutes.

  3. Add chicken broth and potatoes, bring to a boil, and cook until potatoes are tender.

  5. Add milk and broccoli and cook until broccoli is just tender and soup is heated through. Stir in cheese, allow to melt, and serve.

Recipe Notes

I used my food processor to grate all my veggies. I always do this with soups since it's quick and easy.

      I don't see why not, heather! I would probably add everything except the broccoli/milk/cheese/flour and cook for however long you need it to slow cook, then add the rest in the last hour? Let me know how it turns out and how you make it, then I can add slow cooker directions to the recipe for other people, too! Thanks, Heather!
