The first time I ever tried Baked Potato Soup was at a restaurant called "Pargos" and it was absolutely wonderful. So I searched for the recipe and found it online at cookingcache.com, and make my own little additions and subtractions. No one would EVER know this is low fat. I want more...

Time 12m

Yield 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large baking potatoes or 2 small red potatoes, which i prefer, with the eyes cut out
1/4 cup flour (or a little less)
pepper
salt
4 ounces processed cheese (I used about 1 oz of light Velveeta and two pieces of fat free processed sandwich cheese)
1 (14 ounce) can fat free chicken broth
sour cream (optional)
chives (optional)
low fat bacon bits (optional)
kraft fat-free cheddar cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Bake your potatoes well, either in the microwave or oven, doesn't matter.
  • Let them cool slightly.
  • Scoop out the insides and either toss the peel or put it aside to make something with it later.
  • Add flour and about 1/4 the chicken broth (slowly added) to a medium saucepan whisking till blended, while heating.
  • Add potato, pepper, and salt.
  • Cook over medium heat stirring and mashing constantly. It should be thick and bubbly.
  • Add cheese stirring until cheese melts and combines with the rest of the ingredients.
  • Use soup spoon to add a little more chicken broth if it needs thickening.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Pour into bowl and garnish with a spoonful of fat free sour cream in the center topped with bacon bits, chives, and cheddar if desired.
