ONE RECIPE, TWO MEALS: CREAMY, CHEESY POTATO SOUP
This soup is ridiculous as is! But for your kids, keep it super simple with lots of Cheddar cheese on top. Or nothing! And for the adult faces, we get a little crazy with the toppings. I'm talking crumbled bacon, jalapeno peppers, dollops of sour cream, cheese, some yummy chives. Yes.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a deep pot over medium-high heat. Add the celery and onions and saute until the veggies begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the potatoes and toss with a good pinch of salt. Add the chicken stock and simmer until the potatoes soften, about 20 minutes. Then add the milk and butter, and stir until the butter melts.
- At this point you have a few options. If you have an immersion blender, simply stick the wand in the pot and give it a few whizzes, blending some of the soup until it's nice and creamy. You'll still want a good amount of potato chunks in the soup, so don't go overboard, like I tend to do.
- You can also scoop out about 2 cups of the soup and transfer it to a blender or food processor. Blend until creamy and transfer it back to the soup pot.
- Or, you can simply mash a few of the potatoes with a potato masher, leaving it on the slightly chunkier side. It's up to you!
- After you've creamified it, give it another taste and add plenty of salt and pepper if needed.
- Scoop out a little for the kids and keep it simple for them with shredded Cheddar and a kiss of chives! (Chives are optional, of course.) As for you, adult faces, load up your bowls with plenty of chopped bacon, Cheddar, little dollops of sour cream, sliced jalapenos and chives!

TWO CHEESE POTATO & CAULIFLOWER SOUP
I found this recipe before I decided to follow a lower fat diet, so I often reduce the cheese amount and it works just as well. I've also combined it with the Weight Watchers Baked Potato Soup #261058 for a nice lower fat recipe. I use broth when doing the baked potato version. Also adding roasted garlic is quite tasty. Can do the potatoes peeled or unpeeled. The cauliflower can be fresh or frozen.

Steps:
- First, cut sweet potatos into 1/4 inch thickness and equal sizes. Then in a large fry pan add two tablespoons olive oil, and half of all of these spices--cinnamon powder, rosemary, fine sweet basil, cloves, nutmeg, salt, pepper, cinnamon stick, 1 tsp. creole seasoning and garlic powder. Cook and stir all ingredients for 20-25 min. or until golden and soft. Then, remove sweet potatoes from heat and place into a large pot also remove all cloves. Then, in the same fry pan saute diced, equal sized, unpeeled Idaho potatoes with the remaining half of the fine sweet basil, rosemary, salt, pepper and olive oil until slightly golden but not all the way cooked. Add white potatoes to the pot with sweet potatoes. Then, add three cups chicken stock and two cups milk. Keep stove on medium heat and, if needed, add more creole seasoning, salt, pepper, basil, rosemary, and thyme, to taste. Bring soup to a simmer and get out your hand emulsifier. Thoroughly emulsify the potatos. Leave smoothed mixture to simmer for about five more minutes and enjoy! You can fry some sage in olive oil and put it on top of your soup along with one cinnamon sick for a nice garnish.
Tips:
- Use a variety of potatoes. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. Try using a combination of Yukon Gold, russet, and red potatoes.
- Don't overcook the potatoes. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup.
- Add your favorite toppings. Try adding chopped bacon, shredded cheese, or sour cream.
- Make it ahead of time. This soup is even better the next day, so you can make it ahead of time and reheat it when you're ready to serve.
