Broccoli Potato Soup with "secret" White Beans - Low Cal/Low Fat (vegan)

This is a VERY easy recipe and only requires a microwave and blender - Done in about 10 min. flat

Make ahead of time for 4 days worth of take-to-work lunches, or freeze in individual containers for a rainy day!

Great way to get lots of veggies/beans and fiber into your day without even trying (or feeling like you did)!


Makes 2 cereal bowl sized servings 
approx. 300 cal, 1 fat each!

1 Medium Russet Potato scrubbed, pierced and microwaved until soft
1 can White Northern Beans, undrained
2 c. Fresh or Frozen Chopped Broccoli,  microwaved until cooked/hot
1/2c. water
Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder to taste
Nutritional Yeast (About 2 TBSP) - Optional

Throw all in a blender until pureed smooth and that's it!
Top with sour cream, cheese, croutons or eat as is either alone, or with a salad or sandwich

*To make this a chunkier soup, reserve half of the potato/broccoli and chop into chunks, then puree the remaining, adding the chunks back to the soup after blending
