Cream of Broccoli Soup

This is a super easy recipe and good! Got it from Weight Watchers.

1 tsp unsalted butter
1 medium onion, chopped
20 oz frozen chopped broccoli, thawed
32 1/4 oz canned condensed cream of potato soup, three 10 3/4 oz cans
4 cups fat-free skim milk
3/4 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese, extra-sharp
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp salt, or to taste (optional)

Melt butter in a large nonstick saucepan over low heat. Add onions and increase heat to medium-low; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 7 minutes.

Stir in broccoli and potato soup; gradually stir in milk until blended. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is tender. Remove from heat; stir in cheese and mustard until cheese melts. Season to taste with salt, if desired. Yields about 1 1/4 cups per serving.

COLD Run

Did 3 miles this morning in the rain/snow......YES! Bring it on Cold Turkey!! On the positive side, your legs go NUMB because of the cold...so it's not so painful. :)
