My Potato Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

5 lbs yukon gold potatoes
1 small yellow onion
10 1/4 ounces 98% fat free condensed cream of celery soup
16 ounces French onion dip
2 cups 2% low-fat milk
3 ounces light processed cheese
garlic powder
salt
pepper

Preparation

Peel and dice potatoes. Chop onion. Place both in pot with just enough water to cover and boil until potatoes are just tender. Drain, leaving about 1 inch water in bottom of pot.
Mash potatoes to the consistency of your liking (I like my soup a little chunky, so I mash about 1/2 of the potatoes and leave the other half as is).
Add in cream of celery soup (you can use any kind of cream soup you may like if celery is not your favorite), milk (you may use less or more than 2 c, again depending on the consistency you may like), french onion dip (may use FF or Lite onion dip to lower calories or, sour cream may also be substituted for less of an onion taste) and cheese (I use 2% Velveeta).
Add seasoning to your taste and gently mix until all ingredients are blended.
Let simmer on low until cheese is melted, stirring occasionally.
