Easy Cheesy Potato Soup

Today I started off my day with a trip to the gym & most importantly church :) 

After Dan and I got home from church, I immediately began making lunch for us... following my meal planning guide we had cheesy potato soup & BLT's on the menu!

The soup recipe was passed along to me by a girl at work, and it has become a favorite around here... not only is it super easy {minimal ingredients} but SO SO good as well...

Ingredients:

• 1 frozen bag Potatoes O'Brien
• 1 jar Ragu Double Cheddar
• 1 package McCormicks Country Gravy
• 1 box Chicken broth

First I mix a little bit of the chicken broth with the gravy until it begins to thicken & heat up:

I then add all the other ingredients & stir occasionally until everything is thoroughly heated and the potatoes are cooked :)  (I usually keep the stove top setting on medium low)

While the soup was cooking I prepped everything for our BLT's... and enjoyed a favorite drink I found at the store after church {I needed bacon & tomatoes... would have been hard to have BLT's without those guys haha oops!}

Yum!  I usually don't buy root beer, but I'm glad it caught my attention!  It tasted amazing today...


 While I was busy with taking pictures to share the recipe I had to take a pic of our little monster:

Before I knew it, it was time to eat!  Yay!

This meal hit the spot!  So delicious and filled me up!  The recipe for the soup can feed quite a few, so it is great to have left overs {which I'm sure my brother will take care of when he comes over later! :)} The soup comes out to be about 165 calories per cup... and the BLT was 195 calories... a perfect Sunday lunch at home for 360 calories :) 

Today is sports day {of course!} around our house... and also a day for me to get caught up on to-do list items...

Plans for the rest of the day:

• laundry
• meal planning for next week
• haircuts for a few of my favorite boys
• finishing up my brother's birthday gift {he will be 25 this Thursday!}
• maybe a nap??? :) 

Happy Sunday!!!
