Ingredients
4 cups low-sodium fat-free chicken broth
3 lbs Russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/4 cup onion, finely minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp seasoned salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 oz light cream cheese
Instructions
Place the cubed potatoes, minced onion, garlic, and chicken broth in a large pot.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
Use a potato masher to smash about half of the potatoes directly in the pot to naturally thicken the soup.
Stir in the light cream cheese until smooth and fully melted.
Season with seasoned salt and black pepper.
Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
For a smoother consistency, use an immersion blender instead of a potato masher. You can garnish with fresh chives or a sprinkle of paprika for added flavor without extra fat.
