My family has about 5 things that I make on a regular basis that everyone loves. One of those is my potato soup. It’s a staple for us in these cold winter months. I have been using this same recipe for about 13 years and I just love it!

Now, I am not one to really measures things, so pardon me for the non-accuracy of my recipe.

Potato Soup (Feeds 5)

Ingredients:

3 cups of diced potatoes

1/2 cup of onions (or a dash of onion powder if your kids do not like the onion texture)

About 1 carton of chicken broth (enough to cover the potatoes)

1 cup of milk

1 cup of sour cream

1 Tbsp. flour

Salt and pepper to taste

Shredded cheese ( I use co-jack)

Bacon (cooked and crumbled)

Green onions (diced)

Directions:

• Cook the potatoes, broth, onions and salt and pepper together in a large pot until potatoes are tender (About 25 – 30 minutes). Don’t let it boil, but just simmer.
• After the potatoes are tender, add the milk, sour cream and Tbsp of flour. Bring soup to a boil stirring so that you break up and mix in the flour.
• Simmer for about 10 minutes.
• Spoon into bowls and top with shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, diced green onions and a dollop of sour cream if you like. You may also need to salt and pepper it some more.

I serve the soup with some fresh fruit and it’s a very filling meal! It’s also delicious leftover and I DO NOT do leftovers, so if I’ll eat it left over, any one will. Enjoy!
