180 gpackage of Instant Mashed Potatoes/potato flakesAbout 1 â…“ cups * I use Idahoan or Honest Earth (do not add anything, as per package directions, just the dry potato flakes)
1cupnon-fat sour cream
2cupslow-fat sharp cheddar cheese
3tablespoonlow-fat parmesan cheese
3teaspoonfresh lime juice( about ½ a medium lime)
Strain vegetables, while keeping the broth (set aside)Or remove vegetables with slotted spoon
Puree vegetables in food processor until smooth.Alternatively, you can use an immersion blender to blend the vegetables into the broth.
Return pureed vegetable mixture into broth and whisk.Add dry instant potatoes/potato flakes and whisk until dissolved.*If you don't like your soup as thick as this, don't add all the instant mashed potatoes at once. Add them to your desired thickness - you can always add more at the end. *Be sure to turn down to low heat immediately, as the potatoes will quickly bubble up and splatter. You can even remove the pot from the heat to add the next ingredients. Whisk in cheddar cheese, sour cream, parmesan cheese and lime juice. Keep whisking on low until everything is combined and cheese is melted
