Simple Spud Soup


With all of the welcome rain we have received here in Texas the past few days, I thought that you might enjoy another quick and simple "what's for supper?" recipe.  This one is for a very easy potato soup!  It makes quick use of powdered potatos and the milk in your fridge.

What you will need:
* 5 cups of milk
* 1 (4 ounce) package of your favorite dried   potato (mine has 4 - 1/2 cup prepared - servings)
* 1 (4.2 ounce) carton of dried hash browns (6 - 1/2 cup prepared - servings)
* Salt and Pepper to taste
* Whatever you have around that house that your family likes on a baked potato

In a pan, whisk together the above ingredients.  You will want to stir this constantly to keep it from burning.  If it is too thick for your tastes, thin it out with a bit more milk or even a bit of water.  Heat thoroughly over a medium low heat. 
Top with a few of your favorite things!  I like mine with bacon pieces (I like a lot of them, since bacon makes everything even better!), croutons, and cheese! 

You can adapt this recipe by adding more milk or using water, using frozen hash browns or a potato (small cubes) for texture, or leaving these out for a smoother soup.  Add ham or bacon bits for smoky, salty goodness.  Try a flavored potato mix for an easy, cheesy soup or a wonderful herb flavor.
