Here's my Potato Soup Recipe. I usually double this when I make it though.
Potato Soup:
8 slices bacon
1 cup diced onion
2/3 cup flour
6 cups chicken broth
4 cups cooked, diced white potatoes
2 cups whipping cream
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1 1/2 black pepper
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/4 cup diced green onions
Fry bacon crisp, crumble and set aside. Saute onion in bacon drippings over medium heat about 3 minutes. Add flour, stirring until smooth. Cook 5 minutes, stirring, until golden. Gradually whisk in chicken broth until liquid thickens. Add potatoes, cream, bacon, parsley, garlic, basil, salt, hot sauce, and black pepper. Simmer 10 minutes. Do not boil. Add cheddar cheese and green onions. Cook until cheese melts.

For daily cooking, evaporated milk is one of the few low-fat substitutions I will eat. In casseroles or soups where other liquids, such as broth, are also used, I can't detect the evaporated milk taste. I don't like the taste of it in some other things I've tried.
For "Cream of ....." Soups, I would probably use a white potato/low-sodium broth/evap.skim milk base rather than cream for dietary, not taste reasons.

1lb dried cannellini beans soaked over night.
I printed that recipe and finally went to the store for ingredients and I can't find cannellini beans anywhere. Are they called by another name?

They're like a white kidney bean in a way. Use Great Northerns as a substitute and you'll be fine.

Thanks, Walt. You got me thinking about soups and I keep this one bookmarked. Figured if it was bumped, we could continue on.
By the way, there are some threads on soups within this thread and I wouldn't limit this one to just healthy soups. Any soups you like would be great in here.

I love and remember this thread. My Tuscan White bean wins for sure.

Shrimp and corn soup needs no thickener at all, its body needs to come from the veggie content of it. Stock from the cobs are a given when I make it or just corn soup.

I don't use cream in corn soup either. If you want it creamier use a couple of cans of cream of corn soup. That's right cans.

I like some milk product in mine and my recipe is a good one. Ask Mr. Balls. Oh, wait, we can't...Ask Walt.
