AuGratin Soup

Got this one off the side of a potato sides box and added my own changes

1 pkg AuGratin potatoes
1 can chicken broth
2 1/2 cups water
carrots - sliced (as many as you'd like)
celery - sliced (as many as you'd like)
onion - diced (if desired)
1/2 cup half and half OR heavy whipping cream

Mix ingredients up to the cream (you'll add that when soup is done). Simmer 25-30 minutes then remove from heat. Add cream and stir.

*I like to sautee my celery and onion a little before adding them to the soup. I like the celery to be a little crunchy. I use butter, celery seed and garlic for my sautee.*
