A Quick And Easy Potato Soup
that is also delicious. and versatile.
3 cups of low sodium chicken broth
4 medium sized potatoes, peeled and diced into 3/4" cubes
1 clove of finely minced garlic
1/2 white onion minced fine I will at times use pearl onions.
1 cup of 1% low fat milk or 1 can of evaporated milk
1 Tbls of cornstarch
Salt and Fresh ground pepper to taste
1/2 Cup of NY State Sharp Cheddar Cheese Shredded
Sauté the onion until translucent in about a tbls of olive oil, add the garlic. When you can smell the garlic add the stock and bring to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and simmer for about 15-20 minutes. You want them tender but not falling apart. Add the milk or evaporated milk that has had the cornstarch stirred into it. Stir until soup starts to thicken. Remove from heat. Stir in 1/2 cup of NY State Sharp Cheddar Cheese or a cheese of your choice. Season with Salt and Freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Note, if using Pearl onions, Just add them with the potatoes, Do not Sauté..
Enjoy, IC

I love potato soup, so glad you found a way to make it very low sodium LP!
Me too Cathy. I went without it for years. My wife buys French Vanilla Coffee Mate and the label says 30 mg of sodium but that is only for 1 Tbs so that would be 480 mg in 8 oz. I just happened to pick up a bottle of the Original Coffee Mate and the label said (zero). My first thought was "I'm going home and make some potato soup." I may now add basic white bread, corn bread etc. Now if I could only find a substitute for cheese.
