I made this Superbowl Sunday while it snowed cats and dogs outside though we were only to get a dusty. Two days later when we were to get 2-5 inches, we got nothing! Zilch! The day before I made this soup, I was able to walk several miles outside. I'll share some pictures from the trail at the end of this post. Winter is hard and I try and enjoy the nicer days when we're blessed with them.
So, this soup has a surprise ingredient! A box of au gratin potatoes!
Brown ground beef, add rotel, corn, water and...
The box of potatoes and the mix.
There are three flicker woodpeckers on the tree picture above. The windy was crazy strong as the snow came through and these woodpeckers took shelter on the south side of my tree.
Back to the soup! So, simmer the above ingredients until the potatoes are done. Stir in milk and cubed Velveeta cheese. Heat until cheese is melted and enjoy!

And finally some pictures from my walk Saturday February 3. I encourage you to find a local trail and explore it!
