Creamy soup ready in 30 minutes, low-fat but very tasty. Hubby loves it!! Make double batch since it freezes nice, so you can always have a comforting soup for supper. We like this cream with hot garlic bread.

WOW!!! I must admit that I did not have very high hopes for a cream soup made without cream, but in keeping with my new years resolutions, I was looking for a healthy soup to help warm the bones on a cold winter's day. I made this for the first time...more

I've made this several times already and everyone loves it! My husband and one of my children, don't like to eat veggies at all. It's a daily struggle. So I told them this was a creamy cheesey type of soup. They tasted it and their eyes lit up. ...more
