If I want it light: I stir potato cubes in some oil, then add broth to it and let it cook until potatoes are tender.


Another very nice way is to follow the above steps, then blend all components, then back to the pan, add some cream and shredded parmesan cheese.Best recipe for potato soup, anyone?
Potato Soup Recipe #3596


I got this recipe from my MIL. We absolutely love it and it is very simple. You can of course decrease the cheese amount. I also add broccoli, carrots, corn, peas or any combination of those when I am in the mood. Very delicious, yet simple, soup


6-8 medium potatoes


1/4 cup butter


1/2 cup flour


6 cups milk


2 teaspoons chicken bouillon


1/2 teaspoon salt


1/4 teaspoon pepper


1/2 lb cheddar cheese





Peel, cube, boil, drain and ';mush'; potatoes to the consistency you like (I like them lumpy, but my kids like smaller pieces).


In separate pan, melt butter, add flour and cook while stirring for about a minute or so.


Add half the milk and stir until lumps are out of flour mixture.


Add remaining milk and on med-high heat, heat to a boil.


Stir almost constantly or it will scorch.


After boiling, turn heat off and add remaining ingredients.

Good Recipe (Old)





Boil potatoes and an onion. When cooked, mash, add marj. and milk, keep adding milk to the consistency you want. This is good! Heat at low tempt, stir often to prevent burning. My mother used to brown stale bread in the oven and we used that with the soup.
