Ahh soup. So many options. My favorite is a kind of potato chowder.





Take about 5 of your desired potatoes. (I like Yukon Gold the best)


Dice them up and put in a pot with some carrots. Boil in about 3 cups water with 2 of your chosen flavor bullion cubes until almost soft.





Add milk or half and half until the broth is your desired creaminess, Add about 1/2 cup of frozen corn ( I prefer the white corn as it is sweeter)





Grate in a desired amount of cheddar cheese. When serving, sprinkle on some bacon or imitation bacon bits and some ground black pepper.


Eat with club crackers.





(ps.. you an also put in celery, bell peppers, etc as you desire. For a thicker soup, sprinkle in potato flakes as you add the milk)

This is a wonderful soup and easy to make: http://www.easyfoodandwine.com/Potato-Le鈥?/a> Although usually considered a winter dish due to using potatoes, this can be served chilled and you can not beat the budget. Very flavorful, the cheese adds a nice tang. Best of luck!
