Ore-Ida Loaded Potato Soup



Every day is Potato Day in my house.  I absolutely love potatoes!

This recipe comes from one of my old magazines from back in the 80's.  Ore-Ida does not have this recipe listed on its website.  What is listed is a slow cooker recipe submitted to All Recipes, which I have also posted on this blog.

I've lost track of the magazine article, so I can't list the date of this article.  What I can tell you is that it was a winner in the Ore-Ida Employee Recipe Contest.

"Some roast chicken recipes call for a long list of ingredients or a bed of perfectly cut vegetables, but I promise, it doesn't have to be complicated to be delicious. In fact, I'm a firm believer that simple is often best, especially when it comes to classic comfort food."  Comment from Savoring Italy

Love this versatile recipe.  It can be used for the oven, slow cooker or instant pot.  Simple and easy.  That chicken looks delicious.

"These Breakfast Burritos are crisp on the outside and filled with tender scrambled eggs, ham, and plenty of melty cheese, of course. If you haven’t tried sautéing breakfast burritos, try these and you won’t want them any other way."  Comment from Natasha's Kitchen

That is my kind of breakfast!  They look delicious and I will be making these soon.
