Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 onion, chopped
ΒΌ cup margarine
2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
6 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 pound smoked sausage
1 pound processed cheese, cubed
2 (12 fluid ounce) cans evaporated milk
ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Saute the onions in butter or margarine in a large pan.
  • Add the chicken broth and the cubed potatoes. Slice the smoked sausage into bite size pieces, and add to the soup. Simmer over medium heat until the potatoes are soft.
  • Using a potato masher, lightly mash the potato mixture to break up the cubes a little bit, but not mashing as completely as you would for mashed potatoes.
  • Add the cubed cheese, and stir until melted. Stir in the evaporated milk. Season with black pepper. The soup should be pretty thick, but you can thicken it further with a paste of cornstarch and water. Use about 1 tablespoon of cornstarch at a time, and add it to the soup until you have reached the desired thickness.
