Pineapple Habanero Dip

your rice beef mushroom soup recipe makes me think of quick easy but get that time with your family kind of meal I loved making in our home — here’ s one you’ll appreciate: use canned diced potatoes — instant mashed potatoes – -any flavor variety that floats your boat — some milk of half and half or none – even water will work — you do need a fat and I’ve found I can’ t believe it’s not butter has more flavor than something like parkay – -but the easiest remedy for no butter – -Idaho makes a buttery version and it really does taste buttery — if you are using margarine or butter, drain your potatoes with the water going into your soup pot – melt your butter or margarine in this and add some water according to how thick you like your potatoe soup, you whisk the water from the canned potatoes along with at least a cup of water and some milk/half and half or cream or none, remember – with the envelope of instant mashed potatoes — over stirring to make them smooth and silky — add your can of diced potatoes — and you have instant homemade tasting potato soup — and it really does work — I add some parsley and cracked black pepper and a dash of sugar — it’s awesome — and made so quickly you will do it over and over again — enjoy! 🙂

I made this today for a potluck after church and served it with pita chips. It was delicious! Blending the cream cheese gives it a smooth texture and folding in the queso fresco gives your taste buds a little more to explore. I used the roasted pineapple habanero from Costco and it was a perfect balance of sweet and heat! Thank you for sharing your recipe, I will use this one again.
