How people cook with it

To prepare, simply empty the contents of the pouch into a saucepan. Add the recommended amount of water or milk, stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup has thickened to your desired consistency. For an even richer flavor, you can substitute water with milk or half-and-half. Some people enjoy adding a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh chives before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike homemade potato soup, this mix offers unparalleled convenience and a consistent flavor profile. The chipotle adds a distinct smoky spice that is not typically found in traditional cream of potato soups. The blend of three cheeses provides a complex cheesy taste that is more nuanced than a single cheese variety.
Who it is for
Anyone looking for a fast, flavorful, and warming meal solution will appreciate this soup mix.
How to keep the rest
