Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large pan, cook carrots, celery, and onions in margarine until onions are transparent.
- In a separate bowl, add chicken broth to mashed potatoes until smooth.
- Add the mashed potato mixture to the vegetable mixture, then add milk, cubed potatoes, and shredded potatoes.
- Season with salt, pepper, and cheese.
- Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until potatoes are tender and soup is heated through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using heavy cream instead of milk or adding a bit of cream cheese. You can substitute margarine with butter for a richer flavor. If you want to enhance the flavor, add herbs like thyme or rosemary. Feel free to use frozen vegetables if fresh ones aren't available. Additionally, using leftover mashed potatoes from Kelly'S Hash Browns can save time and add flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your Kim'S Potato Soup with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal. It pairs beautifully with Chicken Breasts With Asparagus And Mushrooms for a heartier dinner. Top each bowl with grated cheese or fresh herbs for an added touch. Enjoy it as a comforting lunch or as a starter for a cozy dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm the soup gently on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. You can also microwave it in short intervals, stirring in between. If the soup thickens, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
