How to Make Potato Soup

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.

Things You'll Need

• large pot
• water
• potatoes
• butter
• milk

Instructions

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

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. Add the potatoes and stir from time to time.

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

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

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.
