Cheesy Broccoli Soup

Hi again! No cooking last night...too many leftovers! Plus, we decided to go out to eat with mom since she was in town. Justin is on call tonight, which means he stays at the hospital all night. Boo. I was tired of eating chili, so I made Cooking Light's Broccoli and Cheese Soup! Delicious! It wasn't exactyly my grandmother's, but hey, it was the healthy version... Here is the recipe:
