Easiest Potato Soup

Easiest Potato Soup

This is another of my old standbys. My family loves this soup! The kids would eat it every day!
It can be made very healthful, too! Or, you can make it fairly decadent!! Just use "full octane" versions of the fat-free ingredients! The choice is yours!!

This soup is fairly hearty, especially with the garnishes!

It takes less than 30 minutes to have this ladled into your bowls!

Easiest Potato Soup

1 32 oz. frozen hash browns
2 (14 oz.) cans chicken broth (I use fat-free.)
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
onion powder, to taste
1 can cheddar cheese soup (The whole can has about 12.5 grams of fat. This is all the fat in the entire pot of soup!)

Optional garnishes:
a dollop of fat-free sour cream
shredded fat-free cheddar cheese
crumbled bacon or "real" bacon bits (1 slice of heated pre-cooked bacon has 1.5 grams of fat. 1 tablespoon of "real" bacon bits has the same -1.5 grams of fat.)
slices green onions


Stove top:
Pour hash browns into soup pot and cover with broth. Add salt, pepper and onion powder. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir in soup. Heat through until smooth and creamy.

Crockpot:

Pour hash browns into crock pot and cover with broth. Add salt, pepper and onion powder. Cook 3 hours on low. Add soup. Cook for another hour on low, if you desire potatoes to be more tender. Otherwise, serve after cheddar soup is heated through.

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Georgia Cornbread Cake

I clipped this recipe several years ago from American Profile, which is a small magazine insert that come with our local newspaper, The Pontotoc Progress. It is yummy, yummy, yummy!  I love the story that accompanied the recipe and was delighted when a Google searched turned up the same article on the web! Larry took this to work, and he said it was a huge hit with everyone! Enjoy! Georgia Cornbread Cake Georgia Cornbread Cake   Recipe of Stella T.

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...
