potato soup? What's your recipe?

Answer 1

I have never had a recipe for potato soup...this is how I fix it...

For about 6 servings, I use about four large potatoes, cut in fourths, boil these with one onion and a couple of chopped slices of bacon. Boil this until potatoes are almost done, drain,about half the water off then just quickly give your potatoes a few mashes with a potato masher...just until the potatoes are kinda small (NOT MASHED). Then add about 2 cups of milk or cream along with about 2 T cornstarch (disolved in the milk or cream) stir occasionally until it is hot and thick., salt and pepper to taste, some butter or margerine and enjoy!!!!

Answer 2

Wolfie's Tater 'n Ham Soup

5 or 6 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/2 pound ham, diced
1/4 c. onion
1/4 c. celery, chopped
3 C. milk
To taste: onion and garlic powder, salt, celery salt
2 tbsp. butter or margarine

Boil the potatoes and celery in enough water to cover. When the potatoes are almost done, add the ham and onion, and cook until potatoes are tender.

Add milk -- DO NOT DRAIN. (The potato cooking water adds flavor.) Season lightly with onion and garlic powder, salt, and celery salt.

Heat through, but do not boil. Adjust seasonings, add margarine, and serve with oyster crackers.

For a thicker soup, remove half a cup of the cooked potatoes before adding milk. Mash the potatoes and stir into the soup.
