Chocolate Soup

This was so good.... like warm Chocolate pudding, but better.

Chocolate Soup
1 C. skim milk
1 C. fat free half and half
1/3 C. sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 C. bittersweet chocolate chips or 6 oz. bar chocolate, chopped (I used semi sweet)
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
2 Tbsp. cold water

Garnish:
2 oz. cream cheese
2 heaping Tbsp. marshmallow creme

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, stir together the skim milk, half and half, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract.  Bring the mixture to almost a boil. Turn to low heat, add the chocolate, and whisk until the chocolate starts to melt.  Combine the cornstarch and water; add to soup a little at a time, whisking constantly, until the soup is thick and smooth.  You will know it is ready when the bubbles are gone and the chocolate has thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Pour into bowls and dollop with garnish.

Garnish:
Microwave the cream cheese at 10 second intervals or until it can be stirred smooth. Add marshmallow cream and mix well. Dollop in the soup.
