1/2 cup sugar or Splenda
2 Tablespoons instant tea (the kind in a jar)

1 small tub of Cool Whip
1 box of Jello instant pudding- Cheesecake flavor
1/4 tsp Ginger

Potato Soup
Given By: Jacque Bridgeman
6 cups milk
4 Tablespoons flour
1 tsp. onion salt (I use celery salt)
2 tsp. salt
5 cups peeled, diced potatoes
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 can cream of celery soup
Dash of pepper
6 strips of bacon
6 oz. cream cheese, softened
Saute' onion in large pot. Add flour, milk, onion salt, salt, & pepper. Stir and add potatoes. Cook over medium heat for 30 minutes. STIR OCCASIONALLY!! Make sure not to let it stick! (Seriously, I scrubbed for days on a pot b/c I 1. didn't stir enough & 2. cooked on too high of heat) Last-add cream cheese & soup. Stir until melted. Simmer for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with crumbled bacon when serving. (We add shredded cheese too!)
This is the best potato soup recipe...not too thick and not too runny...very creamy & delicious!
