Mmmm Good - Potato Soup in a Bread Bowl

Temperature is a' dropping here and since I just love soup in a bread bowl on a chilly day, I made this creamy potato soup last night for dinner. No other food seems quite so cozy. All of the kids (except Hank) loved it.

Creamy Potato Soup

1 large onion - diced

3 large leeks - sliced thinly up to the green

3 Tbls. butter

6 cups chicken stock (I love the organic from Costco)

1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup (I use Campbells)

1 can of evaporated milk

5 large potatoes - peeled and cut into cubes

Salt and pepper to taste

Grated cheese to sprinkle on top

Sautee onion and leeks in the butter until the onion starts to get clear. Put all of your liquid in a large stock pot, stir well and bring to a boil. After the liquid is boiling, drop in potato cubes and boil until soft (approx. 10-15 minutes). After potatoes are cooked and soft, add the onions and the leeks. Remove the soup from heat and pour into a blender. Blend soup until it has a creamy texture. Return soup to stock pot and add salt and pepper to taste. Serve in a bread bowl and sprinkle with cheese.
