Zesty Potato Soup
["4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed", "2 C. water", "1/3 C. chopped green chilies", "1 tsp. dried minced onion", "2 Tbsp. butter or margarine", "1 garlic clove, minced", "1 Tbsp. chicken bouillon granules (I use 1 can of chicken broth and no milk)", "1 C. milk (if using bouillon granules)", "1/2 tsp. salt", "2 tsp. minced fresh parsley", "1/4 tsp. pepper", "4 oz. processed American cheese"]
["In a large saucepan, combine the potatoes, water, onion, garlic, salt and pepper, bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender. (Do not drain). Mash potatoes in liquid almost smooth. Add remaining ingredients; cook and stir until the cheese is melted."]
