The original recipe can be found here:My variation:
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup margarine
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 8 red potatoes, cubed
- 1 lb. smoked sausage, cut into bite size pieces
- 8 oz. mild Cheddar cheese
- 8 oz. sharp Cheddar cheese
- 2 (12 oz.) cans evaporated milk
- Pepper
Add chicken broth, potatoes and sausage. Heat over medium high until potatoes are soft, about 30 minutes.
Lightly mash potato mixture. Add cheddar cheese and stir until melted. Stir in evaporated milk. Season with pepper.
This was a wonderful soup for a chilly autumn day. All four boys loved it. My husband would like to try it in a bread bowl next time.
