"5-Ingredient Fix Contest Entry. An easy,quick, delicious soup made with Simply Potatoes Traditional Mashed Potatoes. I use to make this soup with peeled potatoes, but this way is so much faster and easier. It actually comes out better. The Simply Potatoes makes it creamier. Big hit with the family, but since I'm the only one that likes chives, I leave them just for me! This is a great recipe for vegetarians too!"
