My husband recently graduated from college, and I threw him a graduation lunch for our families. I cooked about 15 pounds of mashed potatoes, and had a bit left over. I'm all about "repurposing" meals, so I thought I'd try to make Mashed Potato Soup. I found a simple Rachael Ray recipe that was FANTASTIC!! I adjusted the recipe a bit--I like things easy!
Cook 4-6 slices bacon, crumbled (I used turkey bacon-and I microwaved them)
4 Tbsp - Butter
1 medium Onion, chopped
1 can chicken stock (I didn't have enough taters to use 2 cans, so I added water and a bouillon cube)
Leftover mashed potatoes (eye ball it!)
8 oz - Shredded yellow cheddar cheese
Chopped chives, for garnish
Add crumbled bacon & the remaining ingredients (except chives) in a crock pot and let cook for 30-45 minutes. We liked ours a little chunkier and not so watery, which is why I only added 1 can of chicken stock. We ate this with a side salad and some homemade bread. Brian absolutely loved it, and gave me the OK to make it again!

The leftover mashed potatoes you had last night's dinner must not be put to waste. I remember that my buddies served that to one of my friends who just had her tooth extracted.
