This is a wonderfully easy recipe to prepare. And better yet, it's a soup that's loaded with flavor. If you are concerned about the waistline, then substitute the half and half or heavy cream with 1-percent milk. Make sure you gradually add in the milk at the end or it might curdle due to the temperature of the soup.  You can also experiment with using some white or red onion for color and a change in flavor. If you want some more heat, spice it up with a little of your favorite hot sauce, or a touch more of ground red pepper.

- by Lynn F. Little To help us improve our eating habits, the USDA developed the Food Guide Pyramid in which foods are clustered into five groups based on the nutrients they provide. For optimum health, you need the nutrients supplied by all the food groups. No one food group is more important than another, although more servings per day are required from some groups than others in order to meet daily nutrient needs. June is Dairy Month, so this is a good time to take a look at the milk, yogurt and cheese group and how we include those foods in our diets.
