Two of our favorite soups:

Baked Potato Soup (Fat free - ha ha ha)
2/3 C butter
2/3 C flour
7 C milk
4 Large baking potaotes, baked, cooled, peeled and cubed (Sometimes I use 6 med or 8 small)
4 green onions sliced
12 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled (I use Costco Real bacon bits)
1 1/4 C shredded Cheddar cheese
1 C Sour cream
3/4 Salt
1/2 tsp Pepper

In a large soup kettle, melt butter and stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly until thickened.
Add potatoes and onions. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat, simmer for 10 minutes. Add remaining ingredients; stir until cheese is melted. Serve immediately. (Makes 2 1/2 quarts)

Homestyle Chicken Noodle (Kimber Crosland's w/o the bouillon (3 tsp) I don't like x-tra salt)
2 cans chicken broth
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1/4 milk or evap. milk
2-3 chicken Breasts (cooked, cooled and cubed) I just use 1-2 cans of Costco canned chicken
1 small onion (diced)
2-3 carrots (diced)
2-3 celery stalks (diced)
Grandma's brand frozen egg noodles

Put veggies and broth in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Then add soup, milk, chicken and frozen noodles. Simmer for 30-45 minutes. (You can also put all the ingredients in a crock pot and simmer on low all day)
