Mashed Potato Soup

This soup is actually AMAZING. 
If you hate mashed potatoes then 
this is your thing to do with the middle part of your potato bites. 
Seriously. 
Even my picky sisters were inhaling this.
You'll Need:
3 Cups (give or take) of Leftover Mashed Pototoes
1/2 of an onion
some celery
carrots
cauliflower
green peppers
2 (or 3) chicken or beef broth (I used beef because that's what I had)
1/4 Cup milk
1/2 Cup (at least) of shredded cheese
1 8oz package of ROOM TEMP cream cheese cut into squares
some salt and pepper

If you don't have the ingredients, don't freak out. It's a leftover soup; it's meant to be kind of thrown together!!!!

You'll want all of your veggies chopped or put them through the food processor. I don't like putting them through the processor because I like crunchy-ness. Up to you! 

Put all your veggies in the pot (you'll need a big one)
Then add chicken/beef broth
add milk
and seasonings (like mrs. dash, or fresh herbs)


Bring all of that to a boil to reduce and simmer
Slowly add your cheeses 
and mashed potatoes
STIRRING CONSTANTLY
Simmer for about 10 more min


Serve when warm!

Yum! It's SO good.
Especially on cold days
Also, it gives the leftovers that have been sitting in your fridge a new twist
It's also relatively cheap because of the fact that they are leftovers
Or if you're veggies are starting to go bad, throw 'em in a soup, or stir fry
It's always my go to things when I need a quick dinner.

As Always, Enjoy
