Soup on a Cold Night

Today we had a cold front come through, with high winds, a little sleet, and blowing snow. We got home from school, and we thought, "What a perfect day for soup!" This is what we made.

Potato Soup (yum!)
5 or 6 potatoes, peeled and cut up
can cream of chicken soup
milk, heavy cream, or half and half (whichever you have on hand)
1 pound velveeta (half the big block), cubed
salt and pepper to taste
cheese, chives, and bacon bits to garnish (optional)

After preparing potatoes, boil them until done. Meanwhile, put the soup, velveeta, and a soup can worth of milk option in a crock pot. Put on low to begin melting. Once the potatoes are done, drain and add to crock pot. Cook until cheese is melted. If soup is too thick, use milk to make desired consistency. Garnish as desired. Enjoy!
