Skinny Baked Potato Soup

This Skinny Baked Potato Soup is a great way to use up the leftover potato you didn’t use and also get a healthy dose of your veggies.

Happy Thanksgiving Eve!!

Tomorrow is the big day–the day of eating a lot of (hopefully) delicious food, spending time with family & friends and thinking about all of those things you are thankful for.

The day after Thanksgiving involves shopping, maybe taking some walks to work off that Thanksgiving meal and eating a little lighter than usual.

Skinny Baked Potato Soup

I was a little hesitant to make a soup with cauliflower but was pleasantly surprised!

The sweetness of the cauliflower mixed with the potato and leeks in this Skinny Baked Potato Soup is delicious. This is the perfect fall & winter soup and offers lots of comfort. You won’t be able to eat just one bowl. I suggest garnishing it with your favorites–chives, cheese, tomatoes or whatever you like.

Notes

The longer you simmer the soup at the end the thicker it will be.
