- 1 large onion chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or low-calorie margarine

the margarine in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and
sauté until the onion is translucent for about 5 minutes.

broccoli, potato, chicken broth, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat
and simmer 15 minutes or until vegetables are softened enough to blend.

Using a hand
blender, mix the soup to the desired consistency (adding a little broth at a
time if necessary).

garnished with a handful of grated cheddar cheese.
