List of Ingredients




1-1/2 cups chopped onions or more to taste
Butter, olive oil, margarine or buttery spray
4-6 cups diced potatoes with some skin left on if you want
2-3 cans chicken broth, vegetable broth or water
1-1/2 cups milk, half & half or fat free half & half
1 to 1-1/2 cups dry instant mashed potato flakes (opt)
Salt and pepper to taste
Cheddar cheese, Sauteed bacon, Green onions for garnish
Saute onions in a bit of butter or olive oil until coated.



Recipe



Now put your potatoes in (and you can use cooked potatoes or leftover baked potatoes, in which case your soup will be done in record time).

Add broth and bring to a boil. Boil, if using raw potatoes, until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes. If using cooked potatoes, bring to a boil and lower to a simmer.

Add milk and continue to simmer until flavors blend.

You can now puree some of the potatoes with a hand blender or mash with a potato masher, or leave as is and starting adding potato flakes to thicken the mixture.

Stir to blend and add seasonings to taste. Serve with choice of garnishes. Serves 6-8
