Country Potato Soup
As far as I'm concerned, the best soup to pack in your lunch box is a potato soup, and this is one of the best!
3 cups (15 ounces) diced raw potatoes
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cups (one 16 ounce can) Healthy Request Chick Broth
2 cups skim milk*
1 teaspoon dried chives
1/2 cup Land O Lakes no fat sour cream
3 tablespoon all purpose flour
In a large saucepan, combine potatoes, celery, onion and chicken broth. Bring mixture to a boil. Lower heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in 1 cup skim milk and chives. In a small bowl, combine remaining 1 cup skim milk, sour cream and flour. Gradually stir milk mixture into potato mixture. Continue simmering until soup thickens, stirring occasionally.
Serves 4 (1 1/2 cups) Each serving equals:
