What are some Extremely simple potato soup/cream of potato soup recipes you know of?

Question

here are some things i Dont have, cream, half and half, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, cream of anything soup. please help :)

Answer 1

Most basic -- peel and cut up the potatoes, cook in chicken broth (if you have it) or water or milk with some salt. Don't use too much of the liquid, let the potatoes cook until soft and the starch starts to thicken the liquid. Before they are mush, take it off the heat and mash or blend it together. Taste and add extra milk or salt if needed. You'll have to adjust the liquid -- you can always take some out before mashing and only add it back if needed.

That's the most basic -- if you have the ingredients, here are some varations: 1) add a bay leaf or two to the cooking liquid, 2) saute some onions or garlic and add it before you simmer the potatoes, 3) add some fresh or dried herbs (thyme or dill would be good), 4) add a little butter before blending, 5) crisp some bacon and add that, 6) add some grated cheddar cheese...

Potatoes are wonderfully versatile. You can even combine some of these variations together.

Answer 2

Cut potatoes (1 med potato per person) in cubes and boil in salted water. In another pan saute chopped onions in butter (about a tablespoon per potato). When potatoes are soft, drain water and coarsely mash them. Gradually add milk until it reaches a consistency that you like. Add onions and butter. Cook until the soup thickens a little. You can spice this up by topping the soup with grated cheddar cheese, sauteed mushrooms, and bacon crumbles.
