Creamy Potato Soup
When the weather is cold, it’s time to whip out the comfort food. Creamy, cheesy, and flavorful soups always hit the spot for me. AND isn’t it a must that potatoes be involved? Well, you’re going to fall head-over-heels for this Creamy Potato Soup that I originally shared on Pretty Providence. Can I let you in on a little secret? It’s healthy too! Your eyes might be surprised at some of the ingredients, but your mouth will thank you for making it.
Many people think ‘coconut milk‘ is some exotic ingredient, BUT you’ll find it right next to regular milk in the grocery dairy section. It’s high is GOOD fats and a great substitute for heavy whipping cream. It also does not taste ‘coconuty’. It’s really rich and creamy and you won’t be able to tell a difference. Trust me, I’m looking out for your tastebuds and health!

I love the list of ingredients here… especially the cauliflower! Smart and healthy alternative.
Thanks, Holly, I always look forward to your comments! Think the world of you and your site.
Made this and I love it! I think I might add some turkey bacon next time I make it.
This was delicious! I was skeptical of the coconut milk but we can’t even taste it. I haven’t been able to make creamy potato soup because my husband is intolerant to cream and milk. I’ve missed it! This is perfect for our family. Thanks for the great recipe!
Thank you for sharing, Christie! I’ve missed cream and milk and grateful for coconut milk which can make it happen!
