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.

I'm allergic to cheese, so I omitted the cheddar cheese from the recipe. It was still delicious!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out bland. I think I'll try adding more salt and pepper next time.

This soup was a bit too thick for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding more broth next time.
