• Yields: 5 1 cup servings
• Serves: 5

ingredients

• For Soup

• 3 cups fat-free chicken broth
• 1 cup light soymilk, plain
• 1 large potato (about 14.5 oz.)
• 1⁄4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons onions, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fat-free cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons nonfat sour cream
• 1 tablespoon bacon bits (like the kinds by Oscar Mayer and Hormel)
• 3⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 3⁄4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic, minced
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄8 teaspoon black pepper

• For Topping

• 5 teaspoons fat-free cheddar cheese, shredded
• 5 teaspoons nonfat sour cream
• 5 teaspoons scallions, diced
• 2 1⁄2 teaspoons bacon bits

directions

1. Pierce potato with a fork in multiple places, and then place it on a paper towel or microwave-safe plate. Microwave for 8 - 10 minutes, until potato is soft. Once cool enough to handle, remove and discard the skin (either by peeling skin off or cutting potato open and scooping out the insides). Mash the potato pulp with a fork and set aside.
2. Bring a medium pot sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic and cook for 1 - 2 minutes, until onion has softened. Add broth and soymilk. Slowly add the flour, continuously stirring until it has completely dissolved.
3. Add mashed potato and stir until fully blended. Add all other ingredients for soup, but not for topping (cheese, sour cream, bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper). Mix well, reduce heat, and simmer for 2 minutes.
4. Divide soup among five bowls. (Or pour about 1 cup into a bowl now, and refrigerate the rest for another day.) Top each bowl with 1 teaspoons each of cheese, sour cream, and scallions. Sprinkle each bowl with 1/2 teaspoons bacon bits. Enjoy!

This is my third attempt to post this review. This is not a good recipe. The flavor is terrible and the consistency is terrible. I'm not personally attacking anyone; I'm just saying that this recipe is not good. It's legendary in my household for how bad it was.
