Cheese Potato Soup


As the cold front is moving in, maybe this will be something that will warm you up! I am not guaranteeing that all my recipes will be the lowest in fat or calories, but man this one is yummy.

Ingredients:
1 stick of butter (you could probably substitue olive oil)
1 grated carrot
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
3 cans potato soup
2 cans chicken broth
1 1/2 cups fat free sour cream
1 lb. Velvetta cheese

Directions:
Saute in butter the carrots, onion, and celery. Add soup and chicken broth. Simmer 30-45 minutes. Stir in Velvetta and sour cream. DO NOT BOIL - JUST HEAT!!

*NOTE: Be sure to stir it pretty frequently. If the burner is too hot and you are not stirring, the potatoes like to sink the bottom and sometimes burn. Not good!!

This is great served with saltine crackers!!

And for all you Deceptively Delicious folks out there - try adding some cauliflower!! I am sure it will still taste great (although I have not tried it - so let me know if you do)!!
