Recipe 2 - Rustic Potato Soup 1/29/2013

Sorry, I have been crazy with midterms and haven't had time to update the blog.  I made Rustic
Potato Soup for recipe #2.  It is in Chapter 10 Cooking for Two.
I again doubled this recipe, so we could eat off of it twice.

Calorie Count for one serving according to the recipe was 290 calories.
I used Almond-Coconut Milk in place of the Fat-Free (Skim) Milk. 
1 cup of Almond-Coconut Milk is 45 calories and one cup of fat-free skim milk is 86 calories.
So, I called it - 250 calories per serving for the portion that I had for dinner.

This is a simple recipe and it was really delicious. 
Potatoes, Water, Milk, butter, salt, pepper, green onion and reduced fat cheddar cheese.

I would give this recipe an 8.  My husband gave it a 7.  He is a meat guy, so I wasn't surprised that it only got a 7 from him.  If I had put a little bacon in it - I think he would have given it a 9.  Mind you, he did eat a serving the night I made it and one the next night while I was out.
So - I think he secretly liked it more than a 7.  I would make this again for sure.
