Mashed Potato Soup

One of the best parts of Thanksgiving dinner is the leftovers. And this is an excellent way to make use of your leftover mashed potatoes. All you need is some chicken stock and cream. You could even toss in some leftover ham or turkey if you like. So simple and so yummy! Enjoy!

Ingredients: 

4 cups mashed potatoes

2 cups chicken stock

1 cup heavy cream

1 tsp corn starch

salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

In a large stock pot, warm up your mashed potatoes over med/low heat. Add your chicken stock, stirring to combine. In a small bowl, whisk 1 tsp corn starch with your cup of cream. Add to stock pot. Stir to combine. Increase heat to med/high. Let simmer for a few minutes until it starts to bubble and thicken. Reduce heat. Add salt and pepper to taste. Garnish as you like. I always go with some cheddar cheese, bacon crumbles, and green onion. *If you want a cheesy potato soup, simply add 1 cup grated cheddar cheese to your pot and stir until melted and combined.
