CORN, POTATO AND CHEESE SOUP
I found this fantastic recipe in a cookbook simply called "The Vegetarian Cookbook". It is creamy and delicious. We usually like food that is super flavored and spicy, but this is delicious, simple comfort food. No crazy spices or herbs, but yummy! I'm pretty sure that between just my BF and I, we ate almost the entire pot in one sitting. It really is that good. Hope you agree! (As a helpful note, I once heard on the Food Network, that you should never cook with a wine that you are not wiling to drink.)

CREAM CHEESE CORN AND POTATO SOUP
Always trying to put together recipes that my meat-loving and my vegetarian students will both like. I was quickly making some cornbread that needed creamed corn. By the time it was in the oven and I was cleaning up did I realize that I had an open unused can of creamed corn. Don't usually like using processed item, but sometimes it just works! Came up with this mixture as a trial.

CROCK POT POTATO SOUP WITH CHILIES AND CHEESE
This soup is so easy to put together and it is really nice meal to come home to after work. Easy and delicious - what more could one ask for? Serve with flour tortillas for dipping and shredded cheese of your choice to top. If you are not too concerned about the fat content you can use regular cream cheese - but I love the NEUFCHATEL.
