Here is a recipe for an easy potato soup made by using the Instant Potato Soup Mix.

Ingredients

1 medium potato, diced

2 tbsp TVP bacon bits

4 cups water

1/2 cup Instant Potato Soup Mix

1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, optional

oil for cooking

Method

1. Heat oil in a pan and add the bacon bits. Saute for a min and then add the diced potatoes.
2. Cook the potatoes for a min and add the water. Bring it to a boil.
3. Cook for 10 min or till the potatoes are done.
4. Add the Soup mix and stir well till no lumps remain.
5. Stir in the cheddar cheese and remove from heat.

Notes:

You can reserve some bacon bits for garnishing and also add some fresh parsley for garnish.

I did not peel the potatoes. This helps retain more of the rich nutrients in the potatoes. Here is a link to the National Potato Council describing the nutritive value of potatoes. This soup is my contribution to Cate’s ARF / 5-A-Day Roundup.
