"Semi" Homemade Potato Soup

Feeling a bit uninspired for dinner tonight, I pulled this one out of the recipe box.  It's getting cold around here so it's the perfect night for a hot bowl of soup and a sammi (BLT, of course)!!

This is my Mom's recipe.  She said she cut this one out of a newspaper long ago.  If you are feeding a crew like mine and want left overs for lunch, make a double batch.  To blend this soup I highly suggest a stick blender.  Don't have one ...GET ONE!!!  Just kidding =).  You can use a regular blender and just return the soup to the pot when you are done.  But, be careful.  I watched my Mom do it for years and several burns later, I bought her a stick blender just for this recipe.

Mom's Creamy Potato Soup

2 cans cream of chicken soup (I use reduced fat)
1 soup can water
2 cups diced potatoes
2 scallions, chopped
1 soup can milk (I use 2%)
1 tsp. worchestire sauce (I double, sometimes triple this amount.  Adjust to your liking)
1/2 cup sour cream (I use reduced fat)

Combine soup, water, potatoes and scallions in a large pot.  Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender.  Blend (however you choose)  Add milk, worchestire sauce and heat.  Add sour cream just before serving.

ENJOY !!!!
