Casserole/Soup of the Week- Week 4

[AnnieClaus]

This week's recipe sounds very comforting to me. It is Zesty Potato Soup from teachermomof2. I hope you will join me this week in trying it out.



Zesty Potato Soup

4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed

2 cups water

1 teaspoon dried minced onion

1 garlic clove, minced

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 cup milk

4 ounces process American cheese (Velveeta), cubed

1/3 cup chopped green chilies or 1 Tbsp. of Frank's Red Hot Sauce

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules

2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley

DIRECTIONS
In a large saucepan, combine the potatoes, water, onion, garlic, salt and pepper; bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender. (Do not drain.) Mash potatoes in liquid until almost smooth. Add remaining ingredients; cook and stir until cheese is melted. Yield: 6 servings.

Enjoy!

Thanks for posting my recipe Annie! This one is a favorite of both the kids and dh. DS just asked when I'd be making it.

I just had lunch with my friend from work and I told her about this recipe. She said she makes a soup similar to this and if she wants to make it more hearty she adds kielbasa sausage! I thought that sounded great!

I just had this thought, too- if you want extra spicy you could add chorizo sausage.
