March: Broccoli and Chicken Noodle Soup

Lighten Up: To create a more healthful version of this creamy soup, we replaced the original recipe's fat-laden, processed base with a white sauce that thickens low-fat milk with a little butter and flour. The result: 40 percent fewer calories, 63 percent less fat, and a 44 percent reduction in sodium―without sacrificing the creaminess of this childhood favorite. Cook time: 40 minutes.
