So all weekend I promised my husband my Broccoli cheese soup.  This soup is perfect for a cold night. Which was good  because I forgot to call the oil company and we ran out of heat.  So after sitting in a cold house all day wait for my husband to fix the heat, 99* after the oil truck came.  I rewarded him with  broccoli cheese soup in a bread bowl.  I know with my health living this was not a great choice.  So I had a cup”ish” and  avoid the bread.  I also Immediately pack the extra soup and sent it to a neighbor.  Using my trust weight watcher 1cup scoop I make 2 small plastic containers for my hubby to take to his job.
