HUNGRY GIRL HORROR!!!
1-Potato-2's Broccoli & Cheese Potato Soup is a nightmare! With 665 calories, 29 grams of fat (13 saturated), and 80 carbs, this bowl of liquid fat should be avoided at all costs.
If you make your soup the day before and refrigerate it overnight, the fat will rise to the top. Scoop that lardy layer off and toss it before heating and serving!
Throw some greens in your pot. A lettuce leaf will absorb grease that's risen to the top. Just be sure not to eat that nasty, fatty lettuce leaf!
Need to make your soup thicker? Use pureed veggies instead of heavy cream, flour or cornstarch.
Instead of having a cup of soup before your meal, eat a bowl as your meal.
CHEW ON THIS: Before there were spoons, people used their right hands to pull out chunks of meat & veggies from shared bowls of soup on the table. Don't you miss the good ol' days?
