Ingredients

    Olive oil, 1 tbsp
    Chicken Broth, 14.5 fl oz (one small can - low sodium)
    *Potato, 2 medium, cubed into small pieces
    Garlic, 1 clove, minced
    Onions, raw, 1/2 cup, chopped
    Carrots, raw, 1/2 cup, grated
    whole wheat flour, 1 tbsp
    Milk, nonfat, 1/4 cup
    salt & pepper for taste

Directions

Heat olive oil in a small sauce pan over medium high heat. Add garlic, onion and carrots. Sautee until vegetables are tender (about a minute). Add 1 tbsp whole wheat flour and stir for about 30 seconds. Add salt and pepper to season and then add in full can of chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Add potatoes and once again bring to a full boil. Lower heat to medium, cover sauce pan with a lid and let simmer for about 8 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Using an imulsion blender (be VERY careful since soup is hot!!!), puree soup until it has the consistancy of runny mashed potatoes. Add milk and stir well. Season with more salt and pepper as needed. If the soup is too thick for your liking, add more milk until you get the consistancy you like. Enjoy!

Serves 4 as a side dish or 2 as a main dish.
