Fall is by far my favorite time of year because of the crisp weather, cute clothes and feel good food! I had a hankering for some potato soup recently because I haven’t made any since I started dating Michael and that was years ago! What is wrong with me?
Ingredients
- 20oz Simply Potatoes- Diced with onions
- 1c Mozzarella cheese
- 1c Cheddar cheese
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 2c chicken broth
- 2 cans Cream of mushroom soup
- 2.5oz Bacon bits
- 1 tbls Garlic
- Optional- Bread bowl
Instructions
- In a large pot mix salt, pepper, broth, soup and bacon bits together. Bring this to a boil over medium heat.
- Meanwhile, in a skillet cook the potatoes according to the package.
- Remove the soup from the heat once it starts bubbling and add the cheese and potatoes in.
- Serve in a bread bowl or just in a bowl.
These potatoes are simple (pun intended) to make and all I needed was some oil heated up in my pan. Let me just say that these get the lazy person stamp of approval! I did not have to wash, peel or chop these bad boys and you all know that I am not into more work than I have to do. 
I brought everything but the cheese and potatoes to a slow boil and turned off the heat when it was mixed together well. Once I removed my pot from the heat I added the potatoes and cheese and mixed it in. Have I mentioned how easy this recipe was yet?
Viola! This is so scrumptious and nobody would even notice that it wasn’t entirely homemade! I barely let it cool down before I got myself a bowl of it and I am pretty sure that it was 10AM as well so you know that I was full the whole day.

Holy cow, this is WELL DONE! Perfect! Um, I have been known to put the very hot pot into the fridge, where my bgeigst worry is melting the vinyl rack plastic! I PROMISE NOT TO DO THIS AGAIN!I very much like to let my soup sit in the pot together for a day so that the flavors really blend before freezing, but that is just me, often being lazy too!
