- Take out the leftover mashed potatoes from the fridge (a cup or two?)
- pour some milk (maybe 3 cups?) into a pot and turn the heat on low
- stir the potatoes into the milk
- sprinkle on some chopped chives and grind some fresh pepper into the soup
- add salt and garlic to taste
- put in a touch of ground red pepper
- cook for a little while, stirring frequently
- worry that it isn't enough soup for your hungry brood, and add another potato, peeled and chopped very fine
- worry that the potato you added won't finish cooking in time
- wish you had chopped the potato finer (note: steps 8-10 are optional)
- cook on low for a while, stirring often unless you like burned potato soup
- fret that the soup won't have enough flavour and add a couple slices of creamed cheese
- cook slowly and make sure the cheese all melts
- wish you had some ham to chop and add
- turn off the heat, add a half a cup of grated marble or cheddar cheese, stir in and let it sit for a minute or two
- sprinkle a little paprika on top, just because
