Ingredients

2 1/2 lbs golden potatoes4 cans chicken broth 1 sweet onion (like Vidalia)1 red pepper (hot) or red pepper flakes

Directions

Scrub potates but do not peel. Cut potatoes into quarters. Boil potatoes and pepper in the chicken broth until tender ( about 25-30 minutes once it comes to a boil). Be careful not to overcook. Put potatoes and broth through a blender ( I use my magic bullet). You can add cheese, broccoli, asparagus, artichokes etc... to make different flavored soups. The original is great with a little I Can't Believe Its Not Butter spray on top. Will keep in refridgerator for several days.

It's definitely the diet version... I miss the creamy-ness. I think I'm going to make it again with FF Half & Half and reserve some chunks of potatoes to add after food processing.
A serving is ... I think 1/2c. I only had 3oz of potatoes in the house so I pared it down to 1.5servings. - 11/12/07
