Dutch Oven Soups

Fall is here and it's good weather to make a kettle of hearty soup over the fire. This one is very easy, was a success last year and will be again on Saturday. Very modifiable. Please share your own soup/chowder/chili recipes.

Cheesy Potato & Corn Chowder

1C chopped celery
1C chopped onion
1/2 lb chopped bacon
2 cans chicken broth
3C peeled & cubed potatoes or Simply Potatoes
1 can corn
1 can creamed corn
1 4-oz can diced green chilies
1 package country style gravy mix
2C milk
1C Mexican Velveeta
Tobasco sauce, salt & pepper to taste

Saute bacon, celery & onion. Add chicken broth, bring to a boil. Add potatoes & cook over low heat 20 minutes. Stir in corn & chilies. Dissolve gravy mix in milk. Stir into boiling mixture. Add cheese, stir over low heat until cheese is melted.

Serve with bacon crumbles and good bread!

  • There's a copycat Panera Bread recipe on the web for potato soup that is excellent. It uses cream cheese.
  • That country style gravy mix stirred in sounds like a great addition.

    Never done this, what does the gravy mix do for the soup? Thicken, flavor, ?????

    Rest assured, I AM going to try this.
  • That sounds good and will have to try it when it gets cooler...its still 95-100 where I live :(
