5 lb. potatoes
2 cans chicken both
mild/med salsa
small Velveeta block
1 t. garlic powder
Cut and cook potatoes in the chicken broth, when done, add garlic powder, 1/2 jar salsa and Velveeta cut into chunks. Cook until cheese is melted and well blended. Depending on the size of your potatoes, you may want to mash them a bit to thicken. My family loves this, and its so easy to make.

This one is a family favorite.
Cheesy Ham Chowder
10 bacon strips
1 large onion, diced
1 c. sliced carrots
3 Tbs. all purpose flour
3 c. milk
pepper to taste
1 1/2 c. water
1 1/2 c. diced potatoes
1 (15 1/4 oz) can whole kernel corn, drained
2 tsp. chicken bouillon granules
3 c. shredded cheddar cheese
2 c. cooked ham, cubed
In a skillet fry bacon. Let drain on paper towels. In bacon drippings, saute onions and carrots until tender. Transfer to a soup pot. Stir in flour. Gradually add milk and water. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes, or until thickened. Add potatoes, corn, pepper, and chicken bouillon granules. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered 20-30 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Add cheese and ham; stir until cheese is melted. Stir in bacon.

I just made this recipe for the first time last week and its really yummy! It is also a creamed potato soup recipe, but different from the one below.
4-5 medium potatoes chunked
1 lg. onion diced
2 carrots diced
2 celery stalks diced
3 strips bacon chopped
4 c. water
milk
bacon
butter to taste
salt and pepper to taste
shredded cheddar garnish
Place 1st 6 ingredients in pot and boil uncovered until well (an it really means WELL, think very mushy.) cooked and water has been reduced. Put soup in food processor and puree. Return to pot. Add milk until desired consistency. Add butter, salt and pepper to taste. Do not boil. Laddle into servings bowls and garnish with cheese and crumbled bacon.
Super good with some crusty bread on a chilly night!

There are quite a few potato soup recipes in the Kraft recipe search. My favorite is the loaded "Baked Potato" Soup.

Hi blessedmommy, How are your children and that new baby,from last year, I think? , doing? I love potato soup, I have been told that mine is really cream of potato soup. I start with 2 stocks of celery & 1 small onion chopped fine, in enough water to cover by about 2 inches, start that cooking first, then peel 5 potatoes, cut into small pieces and put them in the water to cook, while they are cooking peel 5 more potatoes and cut them into small pieces and add to the pot. If you need, add enough water to just cover them, add salt & pepper to taste, When they are cooked, the first potatoes will be very soft, so that you can mash all with a potato masher,it will have small chunks from the last batch of potatoes, then add 1 can of evaporated milk and 1 stick of butter/margarne. a little garlic powder, parsley, and thyme. Then bring back to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes. Let me know if you tried it and what ypour son thought. annaskf
