I am no cook, so I appreciate simple recipes like this one. Potato soup is very popular amongst the Irish and Germans and a new generation of Americans too. The best thing about it is that even an amateur like myself can pull it off.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    First fill your large pot with water and set it to boil.

  2. Step 2

    Wash and cut about six potatoes into small pieces or medium-sized squares (depending on size or how much soup you want to make).

  3. Step 3

    Add the potatoes and stir from time to time.

  4. Step 4

    Once the potatoes are boiled and soft, pour out the water.

  5. Step 5

    Lower the temperature to a medium. Add milk and butter to your preferred thickness.

  6. Step 6

    Stir and taste. When the soup has blended together well, you are done! You can add some bacon bits or cheese to top it off.

Tips & Warnings
  • Make sure the taste suits your family. The recipe is not exact, so you can add more milk for a soupier soup or less for a thicker and chunkier soup.
