Hearty Creamy Potato Soup

Just made this tonight and it was AMAZING! Really filling, and feels soo guilty but its not :)

Ingredients:
2tbs light butter
2 tbs all purpose flour
2 cups chopped celery
1 large chopped yellow onion
6 cloves garlic chopped
6 cups fat free 33% less sodium swanson chicken broth
2 cups 2 % milk
4 large russet potatoes chopped
4 wedges laughing cow swiss cheese
1 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 tbsp hormel real bacon bacon bits
Black pepper, Mrs. Dash, dried chives and rosemary to taste

Directions:

1. Melt the butter in a large, sautee the celery, onions, and garlic
2. stir in the flour to thicken
3. add the chicken broth, milk, potatoes and spices, still well boil until the potatoes are soft
4. semi- mash the potates in the pot with a wish, but still leave in large chunks, this also thickens the soup.
5. break up and stir in laughing cow cheese... this has a sour cream effect and makes it really yummy
6. top each bowl with 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese and bacon pieces.

this makes a BIG bowl and is really filling and yummy! 417 calorie for all of it... but you can save a bunch of calories by skipping on the cheese and bacon bits... it makes it taste soooo yummy! Enjoy!

    And EACH serving is 417 calories including the cheese and bacon - but these are BIG bowls full - Just to clarify :) I'm thinking only 275 without the cheese and bacon though
