Nacho Potato Soup

A good friend shared this recipe with me, and it has become one of our family's favorite soups!

I did make a few changes, but either version is delicious!

First, I let my Nacho Potato Soup cook in the crockpot (about 4 hours on low, or until potatoes are tender)! I love my crockpot and use it whenever I can!

I substituted chicken broth instead of water, because I usually have a leftover carton to use up.

And, because I rarely, if ever, buy Velveeta, I added 1 - 8 oz brick of cream cheese, softened and cubed, during the last hour or so of cooking.


(I should have sprinkled with parsley for a little color, but I was so excited to eat, I almost forgot to take ANY picture)! ;-)

Whether you stick to the original recipe or use my tweaks, I think this thick, creamy, and a little bit spicy soup will quickly become one of your favorites, too!
