Dinner tonight was a SMASHING success! Tim couldn't stop talking about how yummy it was. He even said the recipe was blog-worthy...so here you go! The recipe is called "Cheesy Potato Soup" and I found it in my Cooking Light magazine.
Ingredients:
1 T. butter
1 c. chopped onion
2 1/2 T. flour
3 c. chopped red potatoes (Tim said he wished the potatoes were in smaller chunks.)
1 1/4 c. 1% milk (I used 1/2 c. of 2% milk and 3/4 c. skim milk.)
3/4 c. chicken broth
1/2 c. water
1/2 c. shredded reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese (I used a cup of reduced fat fiesta blend cheese...because I love cheese.)
1/8 t. ground red pepper
2 T. chopped green onions
Directions:
1. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion to pan; saute 5 minutes or until onion is tender. Sprinkle with flour; cook 1 minute, stirring onion mixture constantly. Add potato, milk, broth, and water to pan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes. Add 1/2 c. cheese and ground red pepper; cook 2 minutes or until cheese melts, stirring frequently. Top each serving evenly with green onions. (I added some cheese.)
**Tim said he would add some sort of meat...I would recommend bacon bits, but since we're trying to eat healthier, we just added some chopped up turkey I had leftover from dinner the other night.
