Reduced Fat Potato Soup

Ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) package frozen loose-pack hash brown potatoes with onion and peppers
• 2 (10.5 ounce) cans fat-free chicken broth
• 1 (2.5 ounce) package fat free country-style gravy mix
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup chopped green onion for topping
• 1 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese (optional)

Directions

In a stockpot or Dutch oven, combine the hash browns and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then turn heat to medium-low, and simmer for about 10 minutes.

In a separate bowl, stir together the gravy mix and water. Stir the gravy mixture into the potatoes, and allow to simmer until thickened. Remove from heat and let stand for a few minutes before serving.

Serve hot topped with chopped green onions and grated cheese.
