I love helping buyers find homes. Whether they're looking in the Roanoke Valley or Smith Mountain Lake, it's fun to get out and show what's on the market.

1 stick butter
1/2 c. onion (grated)
2 lb bag Ore-Ida Diced frozen Hash Brown Potatoes, thawed
1 can cream chicken soup (I use the one with herbs)
1 cup half & half
1 cup grated sharp cheese & extra for the top
4-5 cups water
Toppings: bacon, cheese, chives
Sauté onion in butter until translucent, add other ingredients ( I use 4 cups of water) & simmer for about 30 mins on low heat, (try not to stir too much it breaks down the potatoes) add salt & pepper (I use white pepper) to taste. Serve and top with toppings or just crackers ~ it is yummy.
This is my Aunt Hazel's Potato Soup. She was the Queen of Entertaining and making everybody feel welcome & loved. I sure do miss her.
