Good recipe and not too much prep work.

This was a big hit at our house! I used 2% milk Velveeta, reduced-fat sour cream and some skim milk to thin it and it was excellent. I pare down most TOH & S&D recipes to make them healthier and still end up with delicious results- thanks for all the great recipes!

When I make soup I like it thick and hearty. This was excellent. I added some crumbled cooked bacon. Love the velveta! The texture and flavor was perfect. A do over for sure.

Why does the modern recipes still contain so much sodium and fat products? We need to be aware of those things that lead to good health. I so want good recipes but not at the expense of my health. Thanks for all recipes, though. Networking is fun.

Renee, great ideas. Another alternative for whole milk is canned skim milk - it cuts the fat and leaves the richness.

Can you freeze potato soup after

I would think using a low sodium-low fat ham, 2% pocessed cheese, fat free or low fat sour cream and fat free half and half instead of whole milk would greatly change the nutrition content and still keep it great tasting. It's all about making the right changes when "healthifying" a recipe.

This would be so great if the fat and sodium contents were not so high
