Low Fat cheesy Potato Soup (Extra yumminess!)

Greetings once again!

The early prelude to winter goes on here in Perth, and I continue making soups for dinner.

Last night I cooked this delicious low fat cheesy potato soup, which is only 4.5 points in the WW scale.

I have not uploaded the recipe to my site as yet, as I have not calculated the other nutritional values. However, you don't have to wait till I do. Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

• 750 g potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 X 375 ml light evaporated milk
• 120 g of reduced fat (50%) shredded tasty cheese (or equivalent)
• 4 celery sticks, sliced
• 6 spring onions (finelly chopped)
• 3 chicken stock cubes
• 4 cups of water
• 1 tsp crushed garlic
  

This is what you do:

First, boil the potatoes till they go tender. However, I "nuked" the spuds in the microwave to reduce the cooking time. You may do the same if you wish.

Once the potatoes are tender, transfer them to a cooking pot, and add the chicken stock cubes, water, garlic, celery and spring onions, and bring to the boil. Simmer after that for 7 minutes or so.

Transfer the veggies to a blender, and blend till smooth. You may have to do this in several loads, depending on the size of your blender.

Transfer the blend to the cooking pot, and simmer again. Add the light evaporated milk, and the cheese and stir for a couple of minutes...

Your soup is ready to eat and enjoy!

Extra tips: If you want to add extra flavour, you could "fry" 100 grams of bacon bits, and add them into the soup (after blending, and before serving). Of course, you have to take into account the amount of fat in the bacon to your soup... but the flavour enhancement is superb!

If you want to have a "continental" meal experience, you may accompany your soup with a couple of French bread buns per serving, or even several low fat crackers... for substance.

Surprisingly, this soup is quite filling. It was a great (and easy) dinner dish to prepare!

I hope you enjoy it too!
