Curried Potato and Broccoli Soup

Happy New Year! Did you start whatever resolutions you made right on January 1st? Or did you admit that there was little chance of anything changing on a weekend and wait until this morning like I did? Very sensible. Because on Friday there was still leftover champagne in my fridge...and cookies...and a serious mac and cheese craving...and a Downton Abbey marathon all weekend long. So unless my resolutions included lying on the sofa, eating cookies and watching TV, it just wasn't going to happen. But now it's Monday and my unofficial official start to the new year.

 

So, we're going to lay off the champagne and cookies, at least until Valentine's Day, and we're going to eat healthy food. Right? But it's cold outside so our healthy food is going to be in the form of delicious soup. Yes, yes, there will be grains and salads and grain salads, etc. But right now I just seriously need a bowl of soup. Creamy and loaded with potatoes is how I like it. But I make it creamy without any fattening cream and there's also broccoli and a touch of curry powder for some great flavor and good warming comfort.

This soup is low in calories, high in nutrition and crazy high in taste. And that's definitely how healthy food should be done. Personally, I may just eat this until spring. Enjoy!
