Did you know you can make the best soup ever in less than 30 minutes? I used to think it had to simmer all day like chili.  but this is  good right away. Be careful not to let it boil though, the milk will scald and instead of being  creamy, it will be grainy.
Start with a big soup pan. Put in 1 & 1/2 sticks butter. Then a bag of Ore Ida O'Brien potatoes. Now that the potatoes are frying, add a teaspoon or two of some Spice World roasted garlic, you can find it in a glass jar in the produce section. Now, add some  onion "shavings." 
**I hope you have Lipton Herb Garlic Soup Mix in your cupboard, and if you haven't, please see the following post. This mixture will  undoubtedly change your life. Yum.
Melt the butter and whisk in 2 cups of chicken broth and 1 packet of Lipton Herb Garlic Soup Mix. Then whisk 2 tablespoons of flour or corn starch into 1 cup of milk and add, Now add milk or half & half.
