i need a good potato soup recipe?

Answer 1

This makes a chunkier potato soup, but you can always puree it in the blender if you prefer a smooth soup.

Peel and dice four large potatoes and place in a large pan. Cover with water and cook until done. Pour off all but about an inch or so of the cooking water.

Add the following: diced ham or fried crumbled bacon, approximately a quart of whole milk (can use other, but this gives the best flavor), a pat of butter, and a small diced onion. Add salt, pepper, and onion and garlic salt to taste.

Simmer for ten to fifteen minutes, then adjust the seasonings. Serve as is, or puree in blender for a creamier texture.

Easy, fast, and delicious!

Answer 3

Look for the good recipes online like the others suggest - read the ingredients and see if the sound good to you, then make your choice.

If you want a fast one...

Make up a batch of instant mashed potatoes according to directions, using whole milk, not low-fat. Thin it out to the consistency you want for your soup. Keep at a low simmer until you've got all the following ingredients in. If you must use low-fat milk because that's all you keep around, add a bit more butter or olive oil somewhere along the line to make it a little creamier.

Add a few shakes of dried chopped chives or a few tablespoons of chopped fresh chives/scallions.

Add 2-3 slices of crumbled or sliced up cooked bacon. Or, add a few tablespoons of thinly chopped ham (browned or not, your call).

Add a few twists of ground black pepper (optional).

Add a few shakes of paprika (optional).

Let everything simmer for a few minutes. Taste it. If it's not rich-tasting enough, add a little butter or olive oil. If it's too thick, add more milk. If it's too thin, add a little of the instant mashed potatoes.

Salt to taste.

If you're feeling fancy, add garnish to each bowl before serving, like a few pieces of fresh scallion, some bits of shredded cheese, or a small dollop of sour cream sprinkled with a dash of paprika.

Obviously, using fresh ingredients would be better. Use either red or yellow potatoes with the smooth skins, not the big russets with the rougher skins.

If you have these ingredients hanging around, you can whip this up in 10-15 minutes anytime and have a nice warm soup.
