I love broccoli soup and so many have a lot of cheese. While cheese does make a delicious soup it also adds a lot of calories. This one is pretty bare-bones, in the extra calorie department, unless you add the garnishes at the end. Plus you can give it as much of a kick as you like. I like to use water and bouillon for the broth part.
