In some parts of the world, like the United States, February is “National Potato and Sweet Potato Month!” If you love mashed potatoes as much as we do, then this is the potato soup recipe for you.<\/p>\n
I have to admit, while I love potatoes, there are certain foods made from potatoes that I will note eat \u2013 namely, hash browns, potato salad and yes, potato soup. My opinion about potato soup changed today.<\/p>\n
Many dietitians will say that this soup is probably not a good choice if you are trying to lose weight. Far be it for me to disagree with them. However, I do believe if you substitute some key ingredients containing fewer calories or if you save this delicious treat for a special \u201ccheat\u201d meal, on special occasions, then you will not likely betray your diet.<\/p>\n
This soup is like eating a rich and velvety bowl of warm mash potatoes. Because of the salted pork in the recipe and other vegetables, there is no need for any other side dishes. It\u2019s perfect for a cold winter weekend. Getting your children to eat it and enjoy as much as you do is a plus! So go ahead and try it for yourself and let us know what you think!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
