I'm not a big fan of the broccoli and cheese potato. Does anybody doctor it up or volumize it in any way?  I'm up for any ideas for it.  TIA

I heat up a single serving of broccoli and cheese and pour it over. I know its not fancy but I don't care too much for the broccoli and cheese portion of the Jenny one.

Yes! One of my new favorite lunches I have found is the broccoli and cheese potato that I add one cup of the V8 boxed tomato soup. It is so delicious with the big chunks of potato and the cheese. I just randombly tried it the other day when I needed more veggies to volumize and loved it and 1 cup of the soup is only 80 calories.

I add sea salt and a decent amount of Mrs. Dash.  I think it's good that way--not every week, but it's pretty good.

I scoop out the filling and make it into broccoli-potato soup with skim milk. Then I use some of my limited free foods calories, and slice the "shell" into tater skins. I have them as an afternoon snack with a little greek yogurt (part of my milk) and use the limited free calories to add a little grated cheese and salad-topper bacon crumbles.

Oooh that sounds so yummy!  I'm not much of a cook, so can you please tell me how you make the soup?

Just mix the stuffing from the potato with 1/2 cup milk (or as much milk as it takes for the consistency you like). Season with pepper, a tiny amount of chicken or ham Better Than Bouillon, and onion powder. You can also use roasted garlic to season it.
