GRANDMA'S HOMEMADE POTATO SOUP RECIPE



Grandma's Homemade Potato Soup Recipe image

Provided by kdet

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds of russet potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks (about 1-1/2 inch)
1/2 cup of chopped onion
3 tablespoons of all purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
1/4 to 1/2 cup (1/2 to 1 stick) of salted butter
Water to cover
1 (12 ounce) can of evaporated milk
Shredded cheese, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • Toss the potatoes with the onion, flour and salt and pepper; set aside for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile melt the butter in a Dutch oven or soup pot. Add the potato mixture to the pot; stir to coat. Add enough water to cover the potatoes and bring to a boil; stir in the milk, reduce to a simmer, and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally about 25 to 30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Taste, adjust salt and pepper, and continue cooking on simmer, uncovered, until the soup reach desired consistency and thickness. Garnish each serving with shredded cheese if you like and serve immediately. Cook's Notes: May also substitute green onion. Use an immersion blender or potato masher to puree the potatoes, if a less chunky texture is desired. Variation: Brown several slices of bacon, set aside and crumble. Add one stalk of celery, chopped, and saute the veggies in the pan drippings. Add the potato mixture and proceed with the recipe. Garnish with crumbled bacon. Cheesy Ham and Potato Soup: Add in 2 cups of smoked ham, cubed with the potatoes. Just before serving, stir in 1-1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, just until melted.

My grandmother makes this every year with a brisket for Christmas dinner. This is hands down my favorite potato recipe ever. I leave the skins on the potatoes, but this is optional. Garnish with chopped green onions or Italian parsley, and top with more cheese for a restaurant 'look.' I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are the best choices for a chunky potato soup, as they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
  • Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly and prevent some pieces from becoming overcooked while others are still undercooked.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too many potatoes to the pot, they won't cook evenly and the soup will be too thick.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth that has a rich flavor.
  • Add vegetables to your liking: You can add any vegetables you like to this soup, such as carrots, celery, onions, or peas.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
  • Let the soup simmer: Simmering the soup for at least 30 minutes will help the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for chunky potato soup include sour cream, shredded cheese, chives, and bacon bits.

Conclusion:

Grandma Marty's Chunky Potato Soup is a hearty, comforting soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture, chunky potatoes, and flavorful broth, this soup is sure to become a family favorite.
