Light Creamed Potato Soup
I love cream based soups but never allow myself to have them because of the high calories. This light creamed potato soup is only 80 calories per serving (3/4 cup). It offers tons of flavor and a creamy base.
Change up the recipe and add broccoli, corn and cheese. (Don’t forget to adjust the calories) 🙂
