Baked Potato Soup WW

By Pattywak

Loaded baked potato soup is healthier with sneaking in some cauliflower with the potatoes! The bacon and cheese make it delicious!

Ingredients

• 2 russet potatoes, washed and dried
• 1 small head of cauliflower, stem removed cut into florets
• 1 1/2 cups fat free chicken broth
• 1 1/2 cups 1% reduced-fat milk
• Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
• 1/2 cup light sour cream
• 10 tablespoons reduced-fat shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 6 tablespoons chopped chives, divided
• 3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (you can use turkey bacon if you prefer)

Preparation

Step 1

Pierce potatoes with a fork; microwave on high for 5 minutes turn over and microwave another 3 - 5 minutes, until tender. Or if you prefer to use your oven, bake at 400° for 1 hour or until tender. Cool. Peel potatoes.

Meanwhile, steam cauliflower with water in a large covered pot until tender. Drain and return to pot. On medium heat, add chicken broth, milk, potatoes and bring to a boil. Use an immersion blender to puree until smooth. Add sour cream, half the chives, salt and pepper and cook on low another 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat. Ladle 1 cup soup into each bowl. Top each serving with 2 tablespoons cheese, remaining chives, and bacon.
