Does someone have a good potato soup recipe they'd like to share?

Not exactly healthy but yummy and easy...

I use low fat milk and it's still yummy. In fact it's really, really thick so I add extra milk to thin it out but it just makes even more leftovers which is great

I don't have a recipe and mine's certainly not healthy, but it's really good.

Boil potatoes, carrots, onions, celery, whatever you want, until it's soft. Drain. Melt butter in a pot and mix in flour. Then milk. Add veggies back in, you can also put in bacon, ham, whatever at this point. And cheese, lots of cheese. Season to taste.

1 medium onion, minced
3(ish) stalks celery, minced
3-4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
Sherry or dry white wine
3-6 potatoes, depending on size
Salt, pepper, herbes de provence (blend) to taste
1-2 tbsp olive oil

Peel, chop, and boil the potatoes in either water or chicken broth until tender. While potatoes are boiling, saute the onion in olive oil until translucent, then add the celery and garlic. Deglaze with the wine or sherry, a splash is all you'll need. Season to taste, turn off heat, and set aside.

Mash the potatoes thoroughly in the broth, but do not drain (otherwise you'll have mashed potatoes instead of soup). Add in the onion mixture and blend well. Soup can be served immediately or reheated.

This recipe is vegan (if you don't use chicken broth, of course!) and gluten-free.

I make it pretty much similar to Allyson, and it's yummy!

Also, last time I made potato soup I first made split pea soup, and added it to the pot once the potatoes were soft. Bonus was all the protein!

Thanks everyone! I'm going to make one of these recipes today

I make potato soup by making mashed potatoes, then thinning it out with additional milk. Sometimes I use a bit of buttermilk in it. Usually some sour cream. Top with cheese, bacon, and scallions.

My mom makes potato soup by boiling potatoes and onions in broth. Mash the potatoes just a little bit. Add some cream to taste, nad a ton of chopped parsley. It takes me right back to my childhood.

I slice up a couple of leeks and then saute those in olive oil.

Then I add carrots, celery, shallots, potatoes, parsley and chicken stock and boil it, I mash it up a bit with the potato smasher once they cook.

I then take some out for me, I am allergic to milk. I add milk or cream for dh and dd then we have chives, bacon and cheese to add to the bowls.

I got this recipe from my MIL who got it from the hairdresser who cut her hair way back before my MIL got married.

6 potatoes (I use russetts), peeled and diced
one onion, diced
enough water to cover potatoes and onions

Cook until the potatoes are fork tender. Add in about 1 Tablespoon of salt and pepper, according to taste and 1 stick of butter (1/2 cup). Turn burner off, cover pot with lid, and let set until butter is melted. Stir and serve.

I've also added winter squashes, carrots, celery, bok choy, kale, swish chard, sausage, etc., depending on my mood and what's in the fridge. ONe of these days, I'm going to experiment with broccoli and shredded cheese and use chicken broth instead of water for cheddar broccoli soup.
