LEFTOVER MASHED POTATO SOUP
One Thanksgiving, I asked my son-in-law, who was visiting with our daughter and her family, to make the mashed potatoes. I neglected to say how much, and he ending up paring and cooking an entire 10-pound bag of Idaho russets. After they left, we had about six cups of leftover mashed potatoes I like potato soup, so I thought maybe I could turn the leftover mashed potatoes into soup.
