I have the best recipe for potato soup and it's really easy, too! First, peal and cube about 8-10 good size, russet potatoes. Boil them in water, with a little salt for taste, until just fork tender. Drain them, leaving a little bit of water in the pot. Mash them up with a fork. Do not make them too soupy, leave a few lumps in them (makes the soup better). Add whole milk to the pot until it covers the potatoes, about 4-6 cups (you want to add quite a bit of milk, because this will be your only liquid to the potato soup). Next, add1 1/2 sticks Parkay butter, salt and pepper to taste and 2 chicken bouillon cubes. Bring to a boil. Make sure you stir often, because the milk will burn. While this mixture comes to a boil, slice thinly a box of Velveeta cheese (a large box). When mixture boils, add the sliced cheese and stir until the cheese melts. I promise you, this soup is heavenly. You can adjust the amount of cheese, butter salt, pepper and milk to your taste. Enjoy!

here's my recipe
in a large pot - drop 2 tbsp olive oil or butter or margarine
coarsly chop one medium onion and place in the pot
saute the onion until soft
OPTIONAL - chop up 2 stalks of celery and add with the onion and saute
OPTIONAL - chop up 1 cup of mushrooms and add with onion and saute
throw in 4 cups of chicken broth - either homemade, canned or 4 cups of water mixed with 1/4 cup of powdered chicken stock.
throw in your leftover mashed potatoes (about 4 - 6 cups or so)
use a broad spoon or your masher to break up the potatoes evenly.
you can add a can of cream of mushrrom or cream of chicken soup is you want it more creamy
OPTIONAL - add chopped up cooked sausage
OPTIONAL - add a can of kernel corn or 2 cups of frozen corn
OPTIONAL - add peas if you like them
This is the simplest soup in the world and practically fool proof.
You can make it in any combination you like or don't add what you don't like. It's always delcious.
you may want to salt to taste, but I never do - there is plenty of salt in the broth.
The only thing you need to watch is the heat. Make sure you have the stove on medium heat while sauteing, then turn it down for the rest and stir the soup to prevent sticking.
enjoy.
