    Recipe Introduction


    This soup is piled high with tasty goodness that each person dumps on according to tastes and appetites. Carry chicken broth in cans or cartons or use 6 cups water and 6 chicken bouillon cubes. Bring as many toppings as you like.

    List of Ingredients




    ½ stick butter
    3 cans, 15 ounces each, diced potatoes, well drained
    1 large or 2 medium onions, diced
    6 cups chicken broth
    13-ounce can evaporated milk
    Potato flakes (optional)

    Dump-On Toppings
    Bring as many as you like. Ideas include:
    Shredded Cheddar cheese or thin slabs of Romano
    Sour cream or creme fraiche
    Real bacon bits or fried-out tidbits of salt pork
    Dried chives, parsley or other herbs
    Croutons, pretzels or cheese crackers
    Sliced scallions, diced tomatoes
    Shredded carrots or other root vegetables





    Recipe





    In a roomy saucepan, melt the butter over medium flame and stir in the onions and potatoes to coat well. Stir-fry to brown potatoes and onion. Add broth, cover, reduce flame and simmer until onions are tender. Stir in milk and heat through. Do not boil.

    If you prefer a thicker soup, slowly stir in potato flakes a tablespoon at a time. For a thinner soup, add more broth, water or bouillon.

    Ladle into soup bowls and pass toppings around so everyone can "doctor" their own soup.
