1 cup chopped onion (you can omit this and it still tastes good)
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups fat -free, less-sodium chicken broth
1 (16 oz) pkg chopped broccoli
2½ cups 2% reduced-fat milk (I use 1% because that’s what I buy)
⅓ cup flour
¼ tsp black pepper
8 oz. light processed cheese, cubed (such as Velveeta Light)
Instructions
Heat a large nonstick pot coated with cooking spray over med-high heat. Add onion and garlic; saute 3 min. or until tender.

Stir in pepper.
Remove from heat; add cheese, stirring until cheese melts.
