Easy Cream of Potato Soup

Recipe #324855 | 30 min | 15 min prep | add private note

By: Twig #2

This is from the Better Homes & Gardens cookbook with just minimal changes. I live for potatoes and this is SERIOUS winter comfort food. I inhale this recipe so it probably would make more servings than 4 if someone else were serving it.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    In a saucepan combine chicken broth, onion, potatoes and dill weed.
  2. 2
    Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
  3. 3
    Put 2/3 of the mixture in a blender or food processor. Cover and blend until smooth. Set aside with the unprocessed mixture.
  4. 4
    In the saucepan, melt the butter.
  5. 5
    Stir in flour, salt and pepper. Add the milk all at once.
  6. 6
    Cook and stir until mixture is thickened and bubbly.
  7. 7
    Stir in the potato mixture and cook until soup is heated through.
  8. 8
    NOTE: If you prefer a smoother soup, blend all of the potato mixture. Also try stirring in some grated cheese -- swiss and cheddar are great in this soup.

The perfect thing for a cold, snowy day. I loved the addition of dill, which I would never have thought of doing. To make the milk mixture thicken faster, warm it first in the microwave for about 2 minutes. Thanks Twig #2 for a delightful supper. Made for Spring PAC 2009
