It's in the It's Good For You cookbook. I'd type it up for you but my kit is packed for a bridal shower tomorrow. 26 confirmed guests...woo hoo!!

Very good and VERY simple!

I just made this at 2 shows yesterday, but I did it in the DCB in the microwave. Here's what I did.Peel 1 med. carrot and slice using crinkle blade of UM. Place in DCB.
Thinly slice 1 stalk of celery and place in DCB.
Chop 1/2 med. onion with Food Chopper and add to other veggies.
Cover and Microwave on high 4 minutes.
Add 1 tub (20 oz.) prepared mashed potatoes, 1 can chicken broth and 1 cup skim milk (measured with Easy Read cup). Press in 1 clove garlic. Add some salt and pepper. Whisk everything together with Stainless Silicone whisk.
Cover and microwave 5 minutes. Stir. Cook another 4 minutes.
Measure 1/2 cup low fat sour cream with MAC. Add to soup. Cook 2 minutes.
Snip some parsley in cup of Herb Keeper with Kitchen Shears. Sprinkle into soup and serve. Serve with grated cheddar cheese (DCG) and sliced green onions on the side. (I was going to have bacon, too, but my oven was out yesterday morning and I couldn't cook it.) I served the soup with garlic bites.
