Potato Soup

This recipe is from my mother-in-law. It is sooo great! Not your typical potato soup with huge chunks, it is more smooth. I like to use Nature Seasoning for my spice, it does make it have a real peppery taste, though, so beware of adding too much.

Potato Soup

Chop 1 onion
Chop celery stalk
4 chicken bouillon cubes
10-12 potatoes (pealed and chopped)
Water to barely cover

*Simmer after boiling for 1 hour or longer. Mash it all up, leaving a few chunks. Add 3 cups half and half (or 4). Keep simmering, add spices (salt, pepper, nature’s seasoning, etc.).

Top off with some cheese. (It would be a great "baked potato" soup if you top off with cheese, bacon bits, sour cream and chives when serving-we used to do that when I was a server at Black Angus.)

Watch while simmering, this soup can burn fairly quickly if not being watched for the last step.
