I had no idea how to make potato soup. One day a few years ago I had nothing to cook for supper! I started concocting something! It turned out to be potato soup! I tweaked it a little each time I made it. Finally I wrote it down. Here it is!
6 slices raw bacon
1 large onion (chopped)
2 cups milk (I Tried canned once and it curdles)
2 cups chicken broth
6 large potatoes
1/4 cup margarine
instant potatoes or left over mashed
salt,pepper, garlic to taste
I do mine in my slow cooker. Fry bacon and onion in bottom of slow cooker or on stove. Just until onions and bacon are tender. You can just toss them in without this step too. Add milk and chicken broth, margarine and spices. Add potatoes and simmer until potatoes are tender. On low mine takes a few hours. My husband likes his soup very thick so I add mashed potatoes flakes(today it is leftover homemade mashed potatoes!) until I get the desired consistency. I do this after it is totally cooked then let it heat back up.
I hope this makes sense! Any questions, just ask!
