This is an absolutely wonderful recipe! I first learned this simple one when we had a recipe exchange at our Women's Christmas luncheon about 4 years ago.

Our children's pastor was the source of this inexpensive, quick and easy basic recipe. Given she is a single senior living alone, she did this with 3 potatoes and three cups of water (suggesting the chicken stock granules, just as you used).

In addition, one can top with one or more of the following when serving:

- Crumbled cooked turkey bacon
- Chopped green onion tops
- Chopped chives
- Chopped parsley
- A sprinkling of paprika

A variation is to add a can of minced clams (including the liquid) to this when the potatoes are cooked and partially processed as you describe, then adding a little plain soy or rice milk. This produces a wonderful white clam chowder! (topped with any of the garnishes listed above when serving).

Potatoes are so very versatile and very inexpensive. You can even use potato flakes (not the granules) to thicken gravies and other creamy soup recipes.
