BROCCOLI BEAN SOUP

Tonight, I had some left over broccoli and carrots and made them into one of my favorite soups. I always like having soup on hand so I have something delicious to eat for lunch.

1 tbsp oil

1 cup chopped onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups broccoli, chopped

2 carrots, chopped

2 1/2 cups chicken stock

1 potato, diced (I didn't add one)

1 can white beans

2 cups milk

1 cup cheese, shredded (opt.)

s&p

Cook onion and garlic until softened.

Add remaining 5 ingredients. Cook until soft.

Blend until smooth

Add milk and cheese

Season to taste (sometimes I throw in a little red hot sauce for some wow)
