Recipe
Some people do not like potato soup once it has been frozen, so try it
with one batch before you freeze lots. You can make this recipe as low
fat as you want and as thick or thin as you like. The ingredients are
yours to play with. The key to its flavor: don't peel the potatoes. This
is very plain, you may add all kinds of flavoring when you reheat.
Sauté onion in butter or olive oil. Put onion and potatoes in food
processor or blender. Add chicken stock. Pulse on and off. Add milk and
process until desired smoothness. I like it slightly lumpy myself. You
might find it easier to blend ingredients while cool and then reheat.
Freeze at this point. Suggested garnishes: chopped green or red onion,
bacon bits, grated cheeses (cheddar, roquefort, or queso anejo), red
pepper flakes, tabasco, sour cream, virtually anything your heart
desires.
