Velveeta Potato Soup

Submitted by kdp4640

"I know what you're thinking....another potato soup...that's what I thought too until I tasted it. This is good served with "Jiffy" cornbread muffins, especially on cool autumn nights or cold winter nights. Positively a comfort food. This recipe is from a lady that I worked with at school."

This soup is fantastic! Just finished making it and it is sooo good. I added bacon because it didn't have enough fatty ingredients in it. LOL My uncle who loves Tim Horton's potato bacon soup says this soup is better. Thanks for the recipe!!

Made this soup for lunch today...DELISH! So easy and quick! The only thing I did different was add crumbled bacon. Definately the comfort food to go to, especially on cold dreary days (like today). Thanks kdp!

Previously I was SOLD on a Paula Dean potato soup recipe, but it seemed to take a long time to make. So when I tried this one I was pleasently surprised and this potato soup has taken the 1st choice spot when potato soup is desired. I added some cubed ham during step #5 and when the entire recipe was completed I placed in in a slow cooker to keep warm until we were ready for dinner. Served with a corn bread muffin or plain this is a WONDERFUL SOUP!!!
