Unbelievably Easy Potato Soup
Don't let the sparse ingredient list fool you. This is a recipe that's so easy to make yet so delicious that everyone inhales it. My mother was raised on this soup and she served it often to us. My grown daughters now demand it when they are home. To this day, entering the house on a cold day and smelling this soup is the most comforting, delicious aroma imaginable. It's also non-fat if you use skim milk. (But I like half-and-half, myself!)

I have been wanting to make a potato soup recipe for years but never took the time to search for one. I wanted a basic recipe that sounded like the potato soups I had eaten in the past. I had a lot of potatos on hand and decided to look for a recipe to use them in. I searched for a "basic" recipe and finally found this one. If you are looking for a true potato soup this is it. I always make a large quantity of any soup I make and share it family and friends. Everyone really loved it. This would be a great base recipe for a chowder. I will definitely be making this again. -
This has become a go-to recipe in our home with a few modifications. I use vegetable stock instead of water, add a smashed clove of garlic for each potato (you can mince it, but it cooks down so soft that it gets broken up pretty well with the potato masher), I leave out the celery (we don't like the texture and the stock has plenty of celery flavor), and top with a little grated cheddar and soy bacon bits and voila quick and delicious vegetarian baked potato soup!

I love this recipe. It's basic, easy, tasty, and versatile. I usually cook the potatoes, celery, and onion in 1 can of chicken broth. When the ingredients become tender, I add 2 TBS. butter before adding the milk. I've made this recipe without celery and it's still good. Thanks so much for sharing! PS. You won't need as much salt if the salt is added to the water or broth while vegetables are cooking.

I loved this recipe. Like a reviewer on here before, I sauteed the onions and used carrots instead of celery (because I had them in the house). As a garnish, I added sour cream, bacon and chives. Served with a nice fresh crusty bread! It was delicious!

Absolutely delicious! I'm not very good at cooking, so this really was the best recipe for me. Simple, and can be spiced up with substitutions or kept as is and it's still great! I didn't have any celery on hand, so I used cream of celery soup. It was so great! This was much better than anything I could have made in the microwave out of a can. Thank you for posting!
