Cheesy Potato Soup

 

This soup is quick and simple to make and is very tasty.  This is basically my regular potato soup recipe but I change it up several ways to make different soups.  I will tell you about them in a later post. 

 

Ingredients:

Potatoes - diced

Carrots - I like to use either canned or shredded carrots

1 onion - chopped

Water

Chicken Bouillon or chicken broth

Cream of Chicken Soup

Milk or Cream - either work great

Cornstarch

Velveeta Cheese

Salt

Pepper

Red Pepper Flakes

 

In a large pot I put water, potatoes, carrots, onions, chicken broth or bouillon, salt, pepper and pepper flakes and cook until potatoes are tender.  Then I add in 1 can cream of chicken soup and either 1 can of cream or about 1 cup of milk that I have mixed cornstarch with to the mixture.  The cornstarch mixed with the milk will make your soup thicken up.  Reduce your heat and add in however much Velveeta cheese you want.  I cut it up in small cubes so it will melt faster and I usually use about 1/2 of one of the large blocks for my large pot of soup. 

 

We like to eat ours with oyster crackers.
