NACHO POTATO SOUP

                                                 NACHO POTATO SOUP

     I love this soup, it it can be made so quickly and hits the spot on a cold (and snowy) winter day!  If you have a box of au gratin potatos on hand, along with a can of corn and a can of diced tomatoes with green chilis, you're set!

Ingredients:

• 1 box au grautin potatos
• 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilis
• 1  can corn, drained
• 2 cups water
• 2 cups milk
• 2 cups cheddar cheese, american cheese, or any other kind you have on hand.

Directions:

1. In saucepan, combine au gratin ingredients, corn, tomatoes, and water, mix well.
2. Bring to a boil, reduce heat; cover and simmer 15-18 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
3. Add milk and cheese.  If you have hot pepper sauce on hand, you can add a few drops if desired.
4. Cook and stir until cheese is melted. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Serves 6-8
