Skinny Broccoli Cheese Soup

Last night I made this delicious Broccoli Cheese soup! I thought it would take long to make but it only took about 15 minutes to prepare and cook everything. Very easy quick heathy weekday meal especially since the cold weather is on it's way. I made this with a low fat grilled cheese, it was the perfect combination. It also made lots of leftovers which is super nice for the next day.
