    soups | Our "creamy" potato and cheese soup tastes like the real thing but with one hitch: There's no real cream in it!

    List of Ingredients




    1 sprays cooking spray
    1 medium onion(s), chopped
    2 medium carrot(s), coarsely grated
    3/4 tsp table salt
    1/2 tsp black pepper
    1/2 tsp paprika
    1/2 tsp dry mustard
    1 pound potato(es), cut into 1/2-inch cubes (use small red potatoes)
    29 oz vegetable broth
    1/2 cup fat-free creamer, such as fat-free 1/2 and 1/2
    8 oz low-fat cheddar or colby cheese

    Recipe



    Coat a nonstick medium pot with cooking spray and set over medium heat. Cook onions until they just begin to color, about 5 minutes. Add carrots, salt, pepper, paprika and mustard, stirring to mix; cook until carrots begin to soften, about 2 minutes.

    Add potatoes, broth and half-and-half. Increase heat and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Add cheese and stir to melt; puree in batches in a blender. Yields about 1 heaping cup per serving.

    Flavor Booster: Thyme and potatoes are a delicious combination. Add 1/4 teaspoon crushed, dried thyme with the seasonings. Garnish each serving with 1 teaspoon fresh minced chives.
