MMM MMM Good. Campbell's Got Nothing On This.

Baked Potato Soup I.C. Style

Got a craving for baked potato soup or any kind of soup at all? Try this. It's MMM MMM good.

Ingredients:
4 Baked Russet Potatoes
5 TBSP of reduced fat cream cheese
4 Cups of chicken broth (Imagine Organic Chicken Stock is good as well as Meijer Organic Chicken Broth. Imagine doesn't have extra spices added)
1 TBSP garlic powder
1 TBSP onion powder
1 TBSP basil
(all spices can be added to taste, but do not add salt since the chicken stock is usually pretty salty.)

Directions:
1. Scrub potatoes and halve them. Wrap in foil and bake for about 45 minutes at 350ish. Cut into good sized chunks.
2. Put a little bit of the chicken stock in a soup pot on stove top on medium/low heat and put the cream cheese in. Melt cream cheese until smooth. Add a little bit of chicken stock until cream cheese is mixed with chicken stock. Repeat step until cream cheese is mixed smoothly with chicken stock without clumps (it will clump if you add the cream cheese all at once into four cups of chicken stock-like I made it)
3. Add spices while cream cheese melts.
4. Stir every 10 minutes or so on a low heat for about an hour.

It is really good if you make it the night before and let the flavors meld in the fridge overnight.

Let me tell you if you have been craving soup and can't eat the canned stuff or eat any other kind of soup because it has onions, tomatoes, and all the other stuff you can't eat-this is a good substitution. And if you can eat Ham that would probably be really good too in it too. Yeah it pretty much rocks (If I don't say so myself).
