Answer 1

Hot Potato Soup... It's really delicious. My mother and I came up with this recipe. The quantities are not necessarily exact, just use your best judgement.

You will need:

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
3 small (or 2 large) potatoes, peeled and chopped small
a 12- ounce can of evaporated milk (optional, but I think it helps the texture)
1-2 Knorr chicken bouillon cubes (to taste)
a pinch of salt
About 3 cups of milk, depending on how thick you want it
Dried parsley and basil to taste
1/4 large onion, chopped finely and sauteed in butter.

In a pan, melt the butter. Take it off the heat. Stir in the flour with a wooden spoon. Return to heat and stir and cook until it's bubbly. Let it bubble (without burning it) for at least five minutes. Then stir in the evaporate milk, a little bit at a time. The mixture should get very thick around this time. Add the regular milk gradually, stirring it frequently. Add the chicken bouillon cubes and smush them with the spoon until they're completely dissolved (they give the soup a great flavor). Add the herbs and salt. Add potatoes. Turn up the heat to slightly above medium and bring to a simmer. After simmering for at least ten minutes, add the sauteed onions. Keep stirring, because the mixture sticks to the pot easily. Thin the soup to your preference with milk. Test the potatoes by spearing them with a fork... once the potatoes are done and the soup has thickened, the soup is done.

Whew.. that was a lot of typing, but I promise it's delicious soup.

Answer 6

Tomato soup.
1 cup of Campbell's tomato soup.
add 1cup of milk,
add a small amount of ground cayenne pepper, or paprika,
add about 1cup of kraft shredded cheddar cheese, or 3 american singles to the soup when it gets hot. Pour immediately into a large soup cup as soon as the cheese melts. Its really good, and it warms you up quickly.
velveeta soup
Melt about a cup of velveeta cheese with a cup of milk.
add some cayenne or paprika, to taste. The secret to this recipe is to add more milk which will make it more of a soup, instead of a dip. I know it sounds weird, but it is really, really delicious!!!
I hope you are able to try these great recipes.
