Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma's Secret Trick

For an even richer, more filling dish, Grandma stirred in an additional 2 tablespoons butter when adding the potatoes and chicken broth to the vegetables. Then she just added a fruit salad or some cinnamon-spiked baked apples, and she had dinner ready.
