"Healthified" Cheesy Potato Chowder

I saw this recipe and thought that I would share it... I would add some leftover chicken or ham to this dish... but I would also use a mix of reduce fat cheese with the reg fat cheese to help bring down the fat a bit more... I also would use a different chicken broth because I think the one listed sucks flavor wise lol... but enjoy... perfect for these crappy winter days...   71% less fat • 69% less sat fat • 50% more fiber than the original recipe—see the comparison. Chock-full of healthified ingredients, this is one soup you’ll want to chow down. The fat is drastically reduced while fiber is increased by going green with broccoli. From eatbetteramerica.
