You might already be looking forward to the holidays – the festive foods shared with the people we love.
But, after the festivities, here goes the inevitable Noche Buena leftovers that sometimes stay in the fridge for days. By then, we are too tired to cook another elaborate dish or umay na with Christmas foods.
Potatoes USA-Philippines sent me potato goodies to try and when I saw the dehydrated potato flakes, I had a lightbulb recipe moment – why not cook something that utilizes the leftovers and warm me up for these chilly days? And so, I came up with:
Creamy Holiday Potato Soup – a quick and easy potato soup that utilizes holiday food leftovers and a perfect post-celebration comfort food.
I have always been wanting to cook creamy potato soup, but I get discouraged by the extra step of blending the potatoes. With this recipe using dehydrated potatoes, it’s so surprisingly easy to make – no extra equipment needed, and I was done in about 20 minutes!
Cheers!
