Healthy Baked Potato Soup

It's Soup-er bowl Sunday. 🍲 You didn't think I was going to let this day pass without making that pun, did you?  😅  I don't have a personal investment in either team this year but that doesn't stop me from exploiting the event for selfish purposes.  I mean, it's a great excuse to eat your favorite treats and gather together with friends.  

Like I said, I don't have a vested interest in this particular football game. 🏈As a whole, professional football isn't really my thing.  I used to look forward to the halftime show but in the last few years, I haven't even enjoyed the Super Bowl performances of the musical guests.  Now I participate in Superbowl festivities for 2 specific purposes: commercials and food.  If you ask me, those are the best parts of any professional football game anyway.  😂

I want to know - What are your favorite football watching snacks?  Are you a wings and pizza kind of fan?  Or are you team nachos and burgers? 🍔  Dips and chips more your style or are you a sit in front of the tv with a bowl of chili kind of person?  Just conducting an informal survey about what everyone is eating today.  😅
​

If you need a last minute idea for a Soup-er bowl meal - and no, I can't resist saying it like that - check out my recipe for Healthy Baked Potato Soup.  Truth is, with a few simple swaps, you can make this soup as healthy - or unhealthy - as you wish.  Put out bowls of toppings for everyone to dress up their own bowl of soup.
