Quick & Easy Potato Soup
"My MIL makes this all of the time. I think she found the recipe online - you can play around with the flavor a bit as it has instant potato - try cheddar, sour cream & chive, butter - the recipe calls for origional. When I'm in a pinch, I steam my potatoes - it goes even faster."
