I love potato soup and this version is so quick and easy you’ll want to make it all the time.
There’s no particular recipe set in stone. I started with a package of instant potato flakes and added portions of flavorful items in my refrigerator. Below are approximate measurements, but best that you add and season to suit your taste.
Ingredients For Quick And Easy Potato Soup
- 1 Package of Idahoanâ„¢ Mashed Potato Flakes
- 2 Cups Water
- 1 Cup Milk-possibly more
- 3 TBsp. Butter
- 3-4 TBsp. Sour Cream
- 2 TBsp. Onion and Chive Cream Cheese
- Assorted Cheddar Cheeses
- Salt and Pepper-to taste

Steps For Making Quick And Easy Potato Soup
Add the water, milk and butter to a saucepan and bring to a low boil. Remove from heat and stir in the potato flakes. Mix well to combine and break up any lumps. Add the cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce. The Worcestershire sauce adds a nice depth of flavor. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add more milk to desired consistency if needed for a thinner soup. Ladle into a bowl and add favorite toppings. Serve and enjoy!
