Potato Soup

I got the recipe from my best friend at work. She would bring in leftover soup to work and share it with me. YUM! The first time I tried making this recipe was for a Sunday school dinner and it was the first soup to be finished. I made the mistake the second time I made it to try to make it on the stove. I all but burnt it that time. I suggest to make it in the crock pot it is not as easy to burn that way.

6-8 potatoes, diced
2 1/4 c. half and half
1 can cream of chicken or mushroom soup
1 jar cheese wiz

Dice potatoes and cook until tender (like you if you were making potato salad). Mix half and half, soup and cheese wiz in crock pot and simmer on low. Add potatoes after tender. Simmer until thickened.

Broccoli Soup

I got the recipe from my best friend at work. She would bring in leftover soup to work and share it with me. YUM!

2 bags broccoli (big bags)
2 1/4 c. half and half
1 can chicken broth
1 block Velveta cheese
2 cans broccoli cheese soup
1/3 c. all purpose flour
1/2 c. water

Steam broccoli. In a crock pot add half and half, broth, velveta, and soup. Simmer on low heat so not to burn the cheese. Add flour and water to help thinking.
