Ingredients
· Cooking spray
· 1 small onion, finely chopped
· 2 tsp minced garlic, about 2 cloves
· 1/2 lb broccoli florets (about 3 cups), chopped into bite-size pieces
· 1 medium carrot, grated or finely chopped
· 1/2 tsp salt
· 1/4 tsp black pepper
· 1/4 tsp nutmeg
· 1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
· 1 (9 oz) can Fritos Mild Cheddar Cheese Dip
· 1 Tbsp cornstarch
· 2 Tbsp cold water
Instructions
1. Coat a large Dutch oven or pot with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté another minute.
2. Add broccoli florets, carrots, salt, pepper, and nutmeg and stir to disperse evenly. Cook to soften the broccoli, about 3 minutes.
3. Add in the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer about 15 minutes.
4. Stir in the cheese dip and simmer for another 2 minutes.
5. While the soup simmers, mix together the cornstarch and cold water (warm or hot water will create clumps), then add this cornstarch slurry to the soup and stir through. Cook another 3-4 minutes until it has thickened slightly.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed, then serve.
