The Easiest Potato Soup You Will Ever Make!

My MIL gave me this recipe (which was given to her by a caterer) and it rocks! I was absolutely shocked by how simple and delicious it was. I make it when I REALLY don't want to cook but I want something satisfying - like when my husband is out of town and cooking for just me is way too much trouble.

Way-Too-Easy Potato Soup:
1 bag Potatoes O'Brien with peppers and onions, thawed
4-6 c. chicken broth (depending on how thick or thin you like your potato soup)
1 pkg. of country gravy mix

Seriously, that's all that's in this - no joke!

Bring broth to a boil, dump in potatoes. Let cook 10 minutes and then whisk in gravy mix. Let simmer another 10 minutes. Enjoy!

You have got to try this and tell me what you think. I love it!

Creamy Southwestern Chicken Soup

I made some pretty great soup last night and I thought I'd share. It was surprisingly easy and SO tasty!

Creamy Southwestern Chicken Soup

1 1/2 c. Salsa Verde
2 c. Cooked chicken - either shredded or cut into small pieces
4 c. Chicken broth
1 t. cumin
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can Cannellini beans
sour cream
green onions - chopped
crushed tortilla chips
shredded cheese

Put Salsa Verde in large sauce pot and simmer for 3 minutes or so.

Add chicken, broth, beans, and soup. Simmer for 10-15 minutes so the flavors can combine.

Ladle into bowls and garnish with green onions, sour cream, chips and cheese, if desired.


This would probably be very good with some corn added in, as well. Also you could top it with diced avocado, and cilantro instead of green onions.

Enjoy!
