This oven baked 3-ingredient Amish chicken soup potatoes recipe is my go-to when someone asks for a cozy, no-fuss side dish that tastes like it simmered all afternoon. The method is as simple as it sounds: you pour condensed cream of chicken soup over raw sliced russet potatoes, add one more pantry ingredient, and let the oven do the work.
The flavor and thriftiness nod to classic Amish-style cooking, where simple ingredients are stretched into deeply comforting dishes. It’s perfect for busy weeknights, potlucks, or any time you want something warm and familiar without hovering over the stove.
Three ingredients. One dish. Pure comfort.
