Cream of Broccoli and Cheddar with Prosciutto Soup

Ingredients:
2 c. water
2 c. milk ( I use 0% fat)
1/2 tsp. olive oil
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 clove of garlic, chopped finely
1/4 tbsp. parsley flakes
4 medium size potatoes
1 16oz. bag of chopped broccoli ( or you can buy the broccoli bunch it and chop yourself)
1 c. chopped and cooked prosciutto
1 c. cheddar cheese, grated


Directions:
Sautee the garlic and prosciutto with olive oil, when it starts to get golden brown, add the water and seasonings.  add the potatoes, cook for 7-9 mins. or until it's tender.  Add milk and broccoli, bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook for another 5-7 mins.  When the broccoli is also tender, add the cheddar and turn the stove off.  Use the kitchen wand to mush up the broccoli and potatoes. Sprinkle with parsley flakes and serve.  Also good with a dollop of sour cream.  

*Hint: I didn't mush the broccoli because Jared is not a big fan of broccoli and this way, I can scoop all the broccoli into my bowl, and he can have the soup.  If you have one of those "boys" in your house who won't eat it but enjoy the soup, then just leave it how it is.
