Homemade Potato Soup

A delicious and easy soup recipe from Amber Russell. Thanks Amber!

This recipe was my mom’s. I think that it was passed down to her from my grandma. It was one of my favorite meals when I was a little girl and now I enjoy making it for my family. It’s quick, easy, and kid friendly! I make it as a lunch or as a dinner with homemade bran muffins or a sandwich on the side.

Potato Soup

2 cans diced potatoes

1 can of evaporated milk

2 cans condensed chicken noodle soup

1 can corn

1T butter

salt and pepper to taste

a little bit of diced onion (optional, I don’t use it)

Combine all ingredients in large pot, heat through, and simmer until ready to serve. You can also cook this in the crock pot and if you want to make more just dump more cans of ingredients in the pot!

SOUR CREAM COFFEE CAKE

INGREDIENTS:
CAKE
1 cup butter
2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
FILLING/TOPPING
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
4 tablespoons melted butter
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup butter and white sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the sour cream and vanilla. Mix in 2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt. Spread 1/2 of batter in the prepared pan.
3. Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl mix 2/3 cup flour, brown sugar, 4 tablespoons melted butter, and cinnamon. Sprinkle cake batter with 1/2 the filling. Spread second half of batter over the filling, and top with remaining filling.
4. Bake 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. (I only cook for 30 minutes, but my oven is possessed)
