Potato soup is a favorite of my family and we can eat this great soup anytime! It’s wonderful on a cold day but we enjoy it year round. Easy to make and one your family will absolutely love. You could double this recipe for a group of people of cut it in half. This soup keeps well for several days refrigerated and makes such a hearty meal.
Potato Soup Ingredients Needed:
Potatoes
Onion
Celery
Minced garlic (I use the kind you buy already minced in the jar)
Pepper
Salt
Butter
Evaporated milk
All purpose flour
We love to top this soup with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped bacon is always a great addition too. As you can see this is an easy soup to make but it’s really hearty and wonderful on a cold day. It will warm you right up! Be sure and add these deliciouscornbread muffins!
Don’t over cook this soup, your potatoes should still be in the form of a potato. If you over cook potato soup it turns to mush.
