The BEST creamy potato soup

By: levinjulie

1 Point per serving*

 

2 large baking potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks (6 points)

6 cups of ff chicken or veggie stock (0 points)

1/2 cup ff half-and-half (1 point) OR 1/2 cup skim milk and 1/4 cup ff sour cream (2 points)

1/2 cup chopped onion (0 points)

optional spices:

salt

pepper

thyme

majoram basil

 

This recipe is EASY!

Bring 6 cups of stock to a boil. Add the chopped onion and potato. Lower the heat. Add spices (I perfer a generous amount of ALL the spices I listed, including salt...sorry!). Let the soup simmer (uncovered) until potatoes are tender - about 20 min. Turn off heat. Spoon 1/2 the mixture into a blender (about half the potatoes and stock.) Puree until liquified. Return the "creamy" soup to the pot with the remaining stock, onion and potato chunks. Stir until it's thouroughly integrated. Add the ff creamer OR milk and sour cream. Stir. SERVE!!!

I sometimes serve this with (fake) bacon bits, homemade low-fat croutons, a sprinkle of cheese or a small scoop of ff sour cream. They add one to two extra points.

This soup serves 6-8 people with about 1-2 points each! UMMMMMMM!!!!!
