Pa Shaltry's Potato Soup goes on a Diet

Yum... Lots of veggies brings the points down. Used less ham than usual and the butter was 1/4 of what I used to use. But I used whole milk for the soup to be creamy.

It was delicious. I could taste the butter and the consistency was great. 7 Smart Points for 1 1/2 cups. This makes 12 servings.

Pa Shaltry's Potato Soup goes on a Diet

8 medium potatoes
1 large onion diced
1 stalk of celery about 8 ribs diced
1 small bag of small carrots cut
4 medium zucchini spiralized or diced
8 oz cubed ham
2 cups whole milk
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
4 TBS butter

Peel, boil, drain and mash potatoes.
While potatoes cook other vegetables in a Pam sprayed frying pan.
Season as you go - each portion should be liberally seasoned. Use as much of the spices you like.  I used:
Salt
Pepper
Mrs. Dash
Dill
Everything but the Bagel
Garlic
Red pepper flakes
Parsley
Italian blend

When potatoes are done put in large soup pan or roaster and mash with butter and milk. Add cooked vegetables and ham. Stir in enough broth to make it the right consistency. Simmer for 1/2 hour. Cool.

Put in the refrigerator overnight to thicken.
