Cheesy Tator Soup

admittedly, I am no Pioneer Woman

but this recipe for Potato Soup is the bomb!

what recipe with cheese and tators could be bad?

those hoot owls are my salt & pepper shakers...

arent they so cute?

in the age of pre-packaged, pre-washed and ready to eat

does anyone actually peel carrots anymore?

as a child, I remember peeling tators & carrots

and rather enjoying it! 

Moms- make your children peel carrots!

it builds character.

don't you think carrot orange is the best orange ever?

fresh, fresh, fresh

 definitely not from concentrate

carb-o-lish-ous

salt, pepper & parsley

 Milk, Velveeta & Cream of Chicken

I never said this was a low fat recipe...

in fact, I recommend using at least 2% milk and extra cheese

makes for seriously creamy goodness

so yummy for the tummy!

Potato Cheese Soup

3 cups diced raw potato

1 1/2 cup water

3/4 cup diced celery

3/4 cup carrot

1 T minced onion  ( I prefer to use fresh, chopped onion)

1 t parsley flakes

salt & pepper

1 can cream of chicken soup

2 cups milk

1/2 lb velvetta cheese, cubed

Combine potato, water, celery, carrots, onion, parsley flakes, salt and pepper in a large kettle.  Cook until all veggies are tender.  Over low heat, stir in the chicken soup, milk and cheese.  Heat on med/low and stir frequently until the cheese melts.

Be careful not to use high heat at this step, you do not want the milk to curdle or the cheese to burn to the bottom of your kettle.  Be patient...it is so worth it!  :)
