Going out to eat can often be a tough thing to do when you are trying to make sure to make healthy choices in all aspects of your life.

Since this soup uses milk instead of heavy cream, you can love this soup one night and then still love your jeans the next night: win-win!
I hope that you and your family enjoy this soup as much as we enjoyed it! Continue reading Loaded Baked Potato Soup
