With chicken and veggies, this pasta medley in a mild lemon and wine sauce is a complete meal in one that’s a snap to assemble. I try to keep leftover chicken or turkey on hand so that I can fix this dish whenever I want. –Jackie Hannahs, Fountain, Michigan

I made this years ago, then lost the recipe. The flavors in this dish blend so well together, but whatever you do...don't skimp & use grated cheese or basil from a jar! It's worth a trip to the store to get these items fresh...they absolutely MAKE the dish. I also added fresh lemon peel.

Potato Soup

7 cups cubed peeled potatoes -- (7 to 7 1/2)

4 cups chicken broth ( reduced-sodium )

1 cup water

2 cups chopped onion

1/2 cup chopped celery

1/2 cup thinly sliced carrots

1/4 cup butter or margarine

2 teaspoons salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

2 tablespoons dried dill weed

1 can evaporated milk -- (12 oz)

In a large crockpot, combine first ten ingredients.

Cover and cook on high for 7 hours or until the

vegetables are tender.

Add milk. Stir to blend and heat.

Use a hand mixer to blend some of the "chunks" to thicken

soup. Fix to preference: to thicken further use potato

flakes & to thin soup,add regular milk.

Also good with frozen shrimp instead of chicken and fresh diced tomato thrown in at the end

I use frozen vegetables and also add parsley. I've even used canned chicken for a fast meal.

Does your family like celery? Peel it first with a potato peeler to make the celery tender. Or consider sundried tomatoes.

I don't care for peppers, so can I omit them all together? Any suggestions?
