Potato Soup

I got this recipe from my MIL. We absolutely love it and it is very simple. You can of course decrease the cheese amount. I also add broccoli, carrots, corn, peas or any combination of those when I am in the mood. Very delicious, yet simple, soup

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Peel, cube, boil, drain and "mush" potatoes to the consistency you like (I like them lumpy, but my kids like smaller pieces).
  2. 2
    In separate pan, melt butter, add flour and cook while stirring for about a minute or so.
  3. 3
    Add half the milk and stir until lumps are out of flour mixture.
  4. 4
    Add remaining milk and on med-high heat, heat to a boil.
  5. 5
    Stir almost constantly or it will scorch.
  6. 6
    After boiling, turn heat off and add remaining ingredients.

This is a super yummy basic recipe. What's so great about it is that you can basically add anything you desire to customize it. I've made it several times and it's always a hit!

    10 Stars! Made this for the first time on Super Bowl Sunday 2002 and YUM-YUM! Mashed about 1/3 and kept 2/3 of potatoes cubed - added diced carrots, used half "Half n Half" and half 2% milk ...... I would HIGHLY recommend this as it can be "customized" however you want! Anxious to make other variations......

    I was looking for a potato soup recipe and this is the first I tried. It was very easy to make and make adaptations to. It is great with bacon and green onions. I made it with fat-free condensed milk and with low-fat cheese. It was still wonderful. I will definitely keep this recipe.
