light dinner loaded potato soup
(1 rating)
Most people associate chicken soup with what you want when you are not feeling well, not me, my memories are of my grandmother making me potato soup. Even now, in my 50's, I still want potato soup if I'm feeling a little under the weather. I found this recipe in Cooking Light Magazine. It is low calorie, fairly low in fat, good protein, iron and calcium. It is so good that it takes me right back to my grandmother's kitchen, without the guilt!
