Erev Pesach Potato Soup

So I set out to make this delicious soup and lo and behold, I was full! I decided to look into any health benefits potato soup might have. So guess what? The bad rap that potatoes get is mostly from the way we prepare them; fried, cheesy and over-oiled. In fact, potatoes are a great source of vitamin C. It does lose a lot of the vitamin through cooking though. At 275 calories for a large potato, you also get vitamin B6, potassium, iron and copper, not to mention the fiber content it has. All these facts are assuming you keep the skin on.

So don’t groan when you look at the 20 pounds of potatoes you have to prepare for Pesach. Feel good knowing that you are nourishing your body (and staving off pre-Yom Tov hunger pangs.)
