"I really like to make potato cheese soup from scratch," says Karen Pigmon of Corning, California. "But one night we were in a hurry, so I added a few ingredients to a can of potato soup instead. It was so good that now I always keep a few cans on hand...it's so quick and easy! Serve it in bread bowls, and it's always a big hit with kids."

DELICIOUS THICK CREAMY POTATO SOUP



Delicious Thick Creamy Potato Soup image

One of the best potato soups, I think the sour cream makes the difference, I like to add in the cayenne pepper for just a bit of heat, and I most always double the complete recipe and use 4 russet potatoes and 4 red potatoes. If desired you can add in some cooked cubed potatoes just before serving and sprinkle with more Parmesan cheese, I most always do! you will love this!
