March's recipe is Loaded Potato Soup!
Ingredients:
4 medium potatoes (about 4 cups, white or red), peeled and cubed
1 medium onion, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups low sodium chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup nonfat milk
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions:
1. Combine potatoes, onion, garlic powder, ground black pepper, and broth in a large saucepan. Cover and cook over medium high heat until boiling.
2. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally (12-15 minutes).
3. Use a potato masher or fork to slightly mash the potatoes. This will also thicken the soup. There should still be pieces of potato in the soup.
4. Stir in the peas, milk, and shredded cheese. Cook and stir until the cheese is melted (3-4 minutes).
5. Garnish with your toppings of choice (suggestions: green onions, shredded cheese, crackers) and serve!
