HG's Cheesy Broc Star Soup
Broc 'n' Roll!
When we saw Green Giant's cute little portions of cheesy veggies, we couldn't WAIT to shove one into the blender. A little weird, but our love for a good soup is kind of out of control. Blend up a bowl of this cheesy-broc creation, and you'll understand...

Ingredients:
1 tray Green Giant Just for One! Broccoli & Cheese Sauce
1/2 cup light (plain) soymilk
1 wedge The Laughing Cow Light Original Swiss cheese, chopped into pieces
salt and pepper, to taste

Directions: To prepare Broccoli & Cheese Sauce, pull film back slightly to vent.
Microwave for 1 1/2 minutes.
Pull film back all the way (but do not remove), and stir in cheese wedge pieces.
Place film back over the tray, and microwave for an additional 45 seconds.
Mix well, and allow to cool slightly.
Place broccoli/cheese mixture in a blender with soymilk.
Blend at medium speed until desired consistency is reached (blend very briefly if you like broccoli pieces in your soup -- blend longer for fully pureed soup).
Transfer soup to your favorite microwave-safe bowl (or your second-favorite one, if your fave isn't clean).
Heat soup in the microwave for 45 seconds, or until hot.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Then slurp it up!
