Feeling like your taste buds are in a rut? Let’s dive spoon-first into a bowl of comfort that won’t make your jeans scream for mercy—our low-calorie loaded baked potato soup is here to save the day with all the flavor and none of the guilt.

Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
• 1 tablespoon rich extra virgin olive oil
