CREAM OF POTATO AND CARROT CHEDDAR SOUP (LOWER FAT)
It's cold here today and I wanted soup. I looked through some recipes and came across one that sounded interesting but I modified it heavily based on what I had. The result was delicious and very very filling. This is meatless though not vegetarian because of the worcestershire sauce (that has anchovies in it).

Steps:
- Peel and grate the carrots and potatoes (putting the potatoes into water so they don't turn colors).
- Chop the onions. (I like a large dice on onions though I tried to make this one a bit smaller. If you are so inclined, chop them fine.).
- Heat approximately 1 teaspoons olive oil in a large stock pot. (I spray the bottom of the pan a few times with a mister filled with olive oil.) Add the onions and stir. (At this point I spray a little more olive oil on top of the onions.).
- Once the onions are soft, add the broth, the carrots, the potatoes (wring them out if they have been sitting in water), and the hominy. Stir well.
- Then add the herbes, the bay leaf, the hot sauce, the worcestershire sauce, the sugar, and salt and pepper to taste if desired.
- Let it cook on medium until the vegetables are tender (approximately 20 minutes but I had mine grated thick. If yours are grated thin it could be less.).
- Add the half and half, the skim milk, and the cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted.
- Remove the bay leaf and serve with crusty bread.

Tips:
- Use a good quality cheddar cheese. The type of cheddar cheese you use will greatly impact the flavor of your soup. Look for a sharp cheddar that is well-aged for a bold flavor.
- Don't overcook the potatoes. Potatoes should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. If you overcook them, they will become mushy and the soup will be too thick.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth. The vegetable broth you use will also impact the flavor of your soup. Look for a broth that is made with fresh vegetables and herbs.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste, and consider adding other spices such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Serve the soup hot. Cream of potato cheddar soup is best served hot, so make sure to reheat it thoroughly before serving.
Conclusion:
Cream of potato cheddar soup is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy texture, sharp cheddar flavor, and hearty potatoes, this soup is perfect for a cold winter day. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
