Loaded baked potato soupThis Soup is very filling and tasty! I didn’t create this recipe, someone gave it to me. But I just had to share it because it is so delicious and great for fall or winter dinners. I added the meat to it myself. It is just as delicious without the meat and of course a little lower in Weight Watcher points.Ingredients

• 6 lg. potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
• 1 lg. onion, chopped
• 3 14-oz. cans chicken broth
• 1/4 C. butter
• 2 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 1/4 tsp. ground pepper
• ½ cup diced ham or bacon bits
• 1 C. fat free half and half  ( I found Land-O-Lakes fat free half and half that I used)
• 1 C. or 1 4-oz. pkg. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 3 Tbs. chopped fresh chives
• 1 8-oz. container light or fat free sour cream
• additional shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

Combine first 6 ingredients in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or on LOW for 8 hours, or until potato is tender. Mash mixture until potatoes are coarsely chopped and soup is slightly thickened. I used a hand mixer or a blender to make it creamy and smooth. Stir in diced ham and heat a little longer then stir in half and half, cheese and chives. Top with sour cream, and sprinkle with cheddar cheese and even a little more chives, if you want, before serving.
