The ingredients for Mean Green Broccoli Soup are:

1 can low sodium chicken broth
pinch hot pepper flakes
1 large stalk broccoli, chopped, separate stalk from flowers
1 medium onion, chopped
1/4 c long grain white rice
1/2 cup water
3 cups 1% milk
2 tbsp low fat sharp cheddar cheese, shredded or diced

Here is how you make Mean Green Broccoli Soup:

In a saucepan, combine chicken broth, pepper flakes,broccoli stalks (don't add the flowers until the end), onion, and water. Bring to a boil and allow to simmer until the rice is starting to soften, about 10 minutes. While it is simmering, heat the milk in a separate saucepan on the stove, stirring frequently. Once the rice has begun to soften, add the broccoli flowers to the broth mixture and cook for 5 minutes. At this point, the mixture can be pureed for a smooth texture, but this is not necessary. Add the milk and heat until a desired temperature is reached, but don't boil it. Sprinkle some of the cheese on top of each serving.Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user LUCY220691.
