  • Best-Ever Potato Soup

    You'll be surprised at the taste of this rich, cheesy concoction - it's not a typical potato soup. I came up with the recipe after enjoying baked potato soup at one of our favorite restaurants. I added bacon, and we think that makes it even better. -Coleen Morrissey, Sweet Valley, Pennsylvania

  • Confetti Mashed Potatoes

    “This makes a beautiful side dish for any meal,” writes LaDonna Reed of Ponca City, Oklahoma. Onion, peppers and cheese add color and flavor to the potatoes.

  • Mexican Shrimp Bisque

    “I enjoy both Cajun and Mexican cuisine, and this rich, elegant soup combines the best of both,” says Karen Harris of Castle Rock, Colorado. “I serve it with a crispy green salad and glass of white wine for a simple but very special meal.”

    "My daughter and I had eaten a cold fruit soup while on vacation. When we got home, we tried to create our own version-and wound up with this smoothie," jots Jeri Clayton of Sandy, Utah. "Everyone enjoys it."

  • Rhubarb Lemon Muffins

    Kathleen Smith of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania says: “My father has a rhubarb plant and gives me some every spring. Some of it I stew for him, but I always save some for a new recipe. This is one of the tastiest I've tried.”

  • Sausage Skillet Supper
  • Smothered Chicken Breasts

    After trying this delicious chicken dish in a restaurant, I decided to recreate it at home. Topped with bacon, caramelized onions and zippy shredded cheese, it comes together in no time with ingredients I usually have on hand. Plus, it cooks in one skillet, so it’s a cinch to clean up! –Brenda Carpenter, Warrensburg, Missouri
