Southwest Potato Soup & Potato Soup Diet Recipe

Wash and cook 4 potatoes in your microwave or oven. Allow to cool, then remove the potato from the jacket and place into a small, deep pot.

Add salt, pepper, dried parsley, 1 Tablespoon of margarine and 2 cups of skim milk to the potato and cook until heated throughout, stirring often. Add just a DASH of ground nutmeg.

Bake 4 rolls or bread bowls in the oven until crisp. A it of margarine or cooking spray to the outside of the bread will help add crispness - but apply before sticking in the oven for safety reasons.

Remove buns, then when they are pleasant to the touch, cut a well in the tops of each, placing the portion that you removed aside. Fill with the Southwest Potato Soup, and serve with the top of the bread to the side of the plate, for dipping purposes.

Serve soup with a side salad of raw spinach, diced tomatoes and cucumber - and just a splash of salad dressing. Adding a few walnuts and dried cranberries to the salad really livens things up, particularly nutritional value.

Health Note: Spinach is a documented super food.
