How can you make a luscious, creamy potato soup in just 30 minutes? Leftover mashed potatoes! This comforting soup has a cooked-all-day flavor but comes together with minimal time and effort.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Warm the chicken broth in a small saucepan. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the butter and cook until melted, then add the onions, celery, poblanos, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to soften and the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  2. Raise the heat to high, add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the mashed potatoes and use a wooden spoon or a whisk to incorporate them into the broth. The potatoes should melt into the broth, leaving no lumps. Bring the mixture to a boil, then turn the heat down to low, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.  
  3. Add the frozen corn and cook until the corn is heated through, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chives.
