Just an FYI, Almost all veggies are recommended to be blanched before freezing to retain vitamins and not risk thawing/ cooking mushy. You didn't mention blanching them in some way...?
Arlene Mobley
No I did not blanch the potatoes before freezing them.

Is this right? 10 can cheddar cheese soup for the potatoes?

That should be a 10 oz can of cheese soup.
