The secret "cream" to this cream soup recipe are potatoes. Simply using potatoes for thickening your soup not only saves calories and fat, but adds even more important nutrients to your meal. |
I have used this potato base for a variety of cream vegetable soups, all with much success. Besides the calorie savings, I really like how QUICK it is to make!
