Here is what you’re thinking: what is Nacho Bread Pizza? Well, Rachael Ray had a great idea on this one. If I were being completely honest about this recipe, which I’m always honest on this blog; I would tell you I was nervous about this one. I was really unsure about the bread and bean combination. But really, it less crunchy then nachos on chips, and a little thicker then a bean burrito. I really loved this one. I knew I would love it when I started piling the toppings on. So don’t be scared, give this meal a try. The best thing about this, I think you could make this meal for 4 people for well under $10 bucks, right now that’s a big time bonus!

Notes: The only thing I did differently was I didn’t use olives to top these off. I know some of you think that that is such a shame I don’t like olives, I just don’t. I’ve tried them, and the only time I have ever remotely enjoyed them is sitting in a park with one of my best friends in Vienna, Austria where we bought fresh bread, cheese, and olives at a market and did some serious people watching. Like I said, the only time I’ve ever liked them. But I mostly ate bread and cheese; I ate one, only to make her happy.

I love potato soup, Bennigan’s had the best potato soup, and now that they’re gone I love Charleston’s potato soup. Rachael Ray has a lot of soup recipes, I don’t make a lot of them because my husband doesn’t like soup, but I made this potato soup recipe today and it was amazing. My mom makes a great baked potato soup, however it’s not very figure friendly, this on is! I thought the flavors in this one were just so great, and it was really creamy, you’ll love this soup. There is a little surprise ingredient that’s really healthy, and something that your kids probably wouldn’t eat alone, I don’t normally eat it!

Husband Says: he’s still sick, so he’s on a chicken and noodle soup diet, to bad for him, he’s missing some great meals!

Notes:I love that this soup uses cauliflower, you don’t even taste any different then if you would’ve used all potatoes! If you don’t have an immersion blender, I’d recommend getting one. I have a pretty inexpensive Hamilton Beach blender, it’s great and it saves you from transferring the soup to the food processor! I used whole milk with this soup, it probably wouldn’t be as thick with 2%, but I don’t really drink that much milk, my husband will only drink whole and soon the baby will to, so that’s what I buy. If you make this with 2%, let me know how thick it is!
