I had this potato soup at a friends house years ago and its been my favorite ever since.. I’ve made a few changes to the original recipe… and every time its a little different, but its always delicious! This soup is light and full of flavor. I call it Light Potato Soup because I just use light milk and no cream… its very healthy and low calorie.
Light Potato Soup Recipe
4 Potatoes {cubed}
2 Large carrots {chopped}
1 onion {diced}
3 stalks of celery {sliced}
5 cups chicken {or veg} broth
2 TBS dried Thyme
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups 1% milk
1 TBS Cornstarch to thicken if desired
This recipe is so easy!!! Simmer the veggies in the chicken broth until they are tender. {about 15 min} Add the Thyme and milk. Simmer 5 more min. Whisk in the cornstarch to thicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Delicious right away or the next day. 
I served this soup with one of our favorite bread recipes… Clover Dinner Rolls. You can find the recipe here.

January 28, 2014 at 2:13 pmReally like the idea of a lighter potato soup. I love potato soup, but always feel so stuffed with the traditional recipes with cream. This is a great alternative. Thanks for sharing.
