Garlic Mashed Potato Soup
Author Aviva Goldfarb: "This recipe was suggested to me by 10-year-old Ames Williford, of Pennsylvania, who makes this soup for her family. It tastes like a cross between mashed and baked potatoes, so our kids love it. You can sprinkle in toppings to your liking, such as scallions, crumbled bacon, cheddar cheese, and additional sour cream. Serve with Baked Breadsticks and Fruit Kabobs." This recipe from The Six O'Clock Scramble Meal Planner, by Aviva Goldfarb. To order directly from the American Diabetes Association, click here.
