This soup is to die for!!

Potato Cheese Soup
1 lg chopped onion
2 med potatoes peeled & coarsely chopped
1 carrot peeled & coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3-4 T butter
1 T fresh dill (I don't like dill so usually substitute mix of marjoram & thyme)
2 c. vegetable stock or water(is from vegetarian cookbook...I usually use chicken broth).
2 c. heavy cream or milk (I usually use mix of one can low fat evaporated milk & milk)
6 oz cream cheese
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese

Saute onions & garlic in butter (I use Pam) until soft. Add carrots & potatoes & saute 4 or 5 minutes (don't add color). Add broth & simmer until vegetables are fork-tender. Working in batches, blend in food processor or blender with milk & cream cheese. If soup is too thick add additional milk...salt & pepper to taste. Return to pot and gently reheat. Right before serving add cheddar cheese & stir until melted.

This soup is rich & fabulous, and one of the few soups that DH actually deems to be "a meal." It is relatively high-fat, but there are easy ways to cut most of the fat without the flavor; however, to get the richness I would only use low fat ingredients, not fat-free.
