Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large pot, combine 9 cups of water and the two packages of onion soup mix.
  2. Bring the water mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to simmer for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  3. While the soup base heats, drain the can of corned beef and cut the beef into bite-sized chunks or shred it with a fork.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of water and 1 cup of dried milk powder until smooth.
  5. Once the soup mixture has simmered, add the prepared corned beef to the pot.
  6. Pour the milk mixture into the pot and stir to combine.
  7. Add the stick of margarine to the pot and stir continuously until it is completely melted and incorporated.
  8. Remove the pot from the heat source.
  9. Immediately stir in the entire box of instant mashed potato flakes.
  10. Stir vigorously to distribute the flakes evenly throughout the liquid, ensuring no dry clumps remain.
  11. Let the mixture stand for 3-5 minutes, allowing the potato flakes to absorb the moisture and thicken into a creamy consistency.
  12. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve hot, topped with grated cheese if desired.
