Garlic n Potato Soup with Romaine Salad

Garlic n’ Potato Soup
2 cups milk
2 cups water
4 potatoes peeled and quartered
Garlic clove crushed
1 cup shredded cheese
¼ tsp pepper
Optional 2 scoops unflavored protein powder

Bring the potatoes and 2 cups water to a boil and continue to cook until the potatoes are soft. Mash the potatoes in the water with a masher or put it all through a blender. Add the milk and garlic to the mashed potato mixture and simmer until reduced (just a bit thicker than when you added the milk). If you would like to add some protein, stir in two scoops until it is dissolved. Top with cheese and pepper and serve hot.
