MAKEOVER CREAMY SEAFOOD SOUP

Makeover Creamy Seafood Soup image

A wonderfully rich, yet healthy creamed soup. From Taste of Home Healthy Cooking Dec 2008. You won't believe the richness from a lighter soup. I should mention that being from Maryland, I add Old Bay Seasoning and it takes it right over the top!
