Homesteader's Potato Soup image

This Potato Soup is always a favorite at our home in the winter time. It's easy to make and definitely is a comfort food. Over the years, I have changed it from having whole milk and cream to using half and half. As well as replacing cheddar cheese to Velveeta, because Velveeta melts so well. I also retain about 1/2 of the water...

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 medium potatoes
1 stick butter
1/2 lb velveeta
2 c half and half
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Peel your potatoes and place them into a medium pot. Add enough water to cover them. Boil them until the potatoes are soft. Pour off about half of the water, not all of it, because their is a lot of flavor in the water.
  • 2. Partially mash the potatoes. If you like "chunky" soup, then leave a lot of chunks approximately the size of a marble.
  • 3. Add the butter. Dice the Velveeta and add it now too. Heat over medium heat to melt the butter and Velveeta. Stir gently as not to break up the potato pieces.
  • 4. Add your half and half, gently heating and stirring. Add salt and pepper to taste.

This soup was delicious! I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, and it was still very flavorful. I also added a bit of chopped fresh parsley for garnish. Will definitely be making this again.

This soup was easy to make and turned out great! I used russet potatoes instead of Yukon Gold, and it was still delicious. I also added a bit of garlic powder and onion powder for extra flavor.
