This is another recipe I made often when my kids were growing up. If was one of their favorites and it was quick to make. I always had the ingredients on hand for a go to meal after a busy day. It even went faster if I had remembered to chop extra vegetables while preparing another meal!

How to Make Lazy Potato Soup

Step-by-Step

Saute vegetables in butter until soft. Add dry potatoes, sauce mix packet, broth, and 2 1/2 cups of water. Mix well. Sauce mix will be lumpy but it always cooks out.
Bring to a boil and simmer for about 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Add diced sausage, ham, or browned hamburger. Heat thouroughly. Stir in milk and cheese. Do not boil. Stir until cheese is melted.
Add extra water if soup seems too thick. Adjust seasoning to taste. Enjoy!
