Cream of Potato Soup

A recipe my mother used during the depression years. It brings back many memories of cold winter nights and hot soup with the family gathered around.





List of Ingredients



• 2 medium sized potatoes peeled and cut into thick slices
  
• 1/3 onion, chopped
  
• 2 or 3 green onions with tops, chopped
  
• 1 hard boiled egg
  
• 1 cup condensed milk
  
• 3/4 cup water or thin milk
  
• 1 tablespoon butter
  
• Salt and Pepper
  
• Chedder cheese
  






Instructions



1. In a heavy saucepan put the potatoes and chopped onions. Cover with enough water to about 1 inch over them. Bring to a boil, then simmer until soft. Mash well while in water.
   
2. Add 1 cup condensed milk and water or milk. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add about 1 tablespoon butter. Heat until steaming hot but not boiling.
   
3. Peel and cut egg into soup just before serving.
   
4. Crumble cheese into bowls and when soup is hot but not boiling, serve.
