Quick Creamy Broccoli Soup

My roommate and I made this soup from her Magic Bullet recipe book, but we tweaked it slightly.

(For one person)



Ingredients
1 cup frozen broccoli florettes
1 clove of garlic
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1/3 cup milk (we used a little evaporated milk to make it extra creamy)
salt and pepper to taste
Extra: one American single or 1/4 C shredded cheddar mixed with a little shredded parmesan cheese

Instructions
Microwave broccoli, garlic, chicken broth, and cheese until broccoli is soft and cheese is melted-- about 2-3 minutes.
Add milk and blend until smooth.
Then put in bowl and microwave until desired temperature. Add salt and pepper.

(If you don't have a magic bullet, this recipe could be tweaked by putting broccoli in a food processor or regular blender before microwaving with other ingredients.)

Bread for dipping:

Ingredients
cookie sheet
2-3 pieces sandwich bread
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp Italian seasoning (or basil and oregano)
shredded parmesan cheese

Instructions
Set oven to broil on high.
Cut bread into small squares.
Mix spices with oil in a small bowl.
Brush or sprinkle mixture on top of the bread pieces.
Sprinkle cheese on top of each piece.
Place on cookie sheet and broil for several minutes until the tops of the pieces are browned/toasted.

Dip into the soup and enjoy!
