CREAMY AND HEALTHY POTATO SOUP



Creamy and Healthy Potato Soup image

I found another recipe on this site that used cream cheese in the potato soup, so I used it as inspiration for this soup...that is shockingly creamy, lucious, and not as high in fat & calories as you would think. I can't wait to serve it at a teacher appreciation luncheon tomorrow!

10 cups chicken stock, homemade with all fat skimmed
