Nacho Soup

I came across this recipe in an old magazine I had.  Nacho Soup is soup-er easy to make & tastes soup-er great! :)  (You can thank Toby for all those bad puns :)

Nacho Soup

1 package (5-1/4 oz) au gratin potatoes

1 can (11 oz) whole kernel corn, drained

1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes & green chilies, undrained

2 cups of water

2 cups of milk

2 cups cubed processed American cheese

dash hot pepper sauce, optional

minced fresh parsley, optional

In a 3-qt saucepan, combine the potatoes and sauce mix, corn, tomatoes and water; mix well.  Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover & simmer for 15-18 min. or until potatoes are tender. Add milk, cheese and hot pepper sauce if desired; cook & stir until the cheese is melted.  Garnish with parsley if desired.

**I didn't use the hot pepper sauce & I didn't have any fresh parsley on hand so that got left out as well.  It still was spicy & really tasty. This is an easy to make and inexpensive supper.  I made some grilled cheese sandwiches to go with ours.
