The Best Healthy Potato Cheese Soup Recipe
Who doesn't love a healthy potato cheese soup recipe? I certainly do, and this one fits the bill. I love potatoes. I'm with Dolly Parton when she said, "I never met a spud I didn't like." Yup, that is absolutely true for me, too.Whether a spud comes in the form of Chick-fil-A fries, a baked potato with all the fixins, or mashed and served with gravy, they are a-okay?? in my book. Oh! And there are plenty that do end up in my books.I especially love that this puréed soup is a healthy version of the normally much higher fat and calorie potato cheese soup. No cream needed in this! I make this potato-cheese soup recipe throughout the fall and winter. It pairs perfectly with sausage bread. Give it a try! Both of these recipes will end up in one of my books at some point! And I bet the soup will become a staple in your household, too.Enjoy!
