black pepper to taste (this shouldn't need added salt...)
3 c milk (more if you want to add more)
2/3 c all purpose flour (in a shaker with 1 cup of water, shaken well to make a thickening)
3 Tbsp butter (optional)
2 to 3 Tbsp granulated chicken bullion. i use knorr "calde de pollo", but the low sodium. it's better.

Steps:

  • 1. In a saucepan, cook bacon and add onion...Cook until browned, reserving drippings. Cut the heat and add diced celery. Set aside.
  • 2. In a large pot, add cubed potatoes and cover with the water. (Add more to completely cover the potatoes if needed.) Cook the potatoes until tender. Add bacon, onion & celery mixture. Be sure and add at least most of the bacon drippings too. (This is where a lot of the flavor is.) Stir together.

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

Taste, adjust salt and pepper, and continue cooking on simmer, uncovered, until the soup reach desired consistency and thickness.

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.

Tips for Making Potato Soup:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are great choices for potato soup because they break down easily and create a creamy texture.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: Cook the potatoes just until they are tender, but not mushy. Overcooked potatoes will make the soup gluey.
  • Use a good quality broth: Homemade broth is always best, but if you are using store-bought broth, choose a low-sodium variety.
  • Add vegetables for extra flavor and nutrition: Common vegetables added to potato soup include carrots, celery, onion, and leeks.
  • Season to taste: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are classic seasonings for potato soup. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or paprika.
  • Garnish before serving: A sprinkle of chopped parsley, chives, or bacon bits adds a nice finishing touch to potato soup.

Conclusion:

Potato soup is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
