Easy Broccoli and Cheese Soup

When I say easy, I mean EASY! I used fresh broccoli but if you really want east, you can get frozen broccoli already cut up. Oh and it's not full of fat!

Serves 8

1 tbsp butter
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cups broccoli cut into bite sized pieces
3 cans of low-fat cream of potato soup
4 Cups of fat-free milk (I used soy milk)
3/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp chili powder
salt and pepper to taste

1. Melt butter and saute onions, over medium-low heat, until translucent, about 7 minutes.
2. Add soup and milk. Stir to combine. Use more milk if you want it soupier, use less if you want it more like a chowder.
3. Add broccoli and continue to simmer until broccoli is tender, about 5-7 minutes. Stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
4. Remove from heat, stir in mustard, chili powder and cheese.
5. Serve with a sprinkle of extra cheese if you'd like.
