Potato Soup Recipe

Don't let the sparse ingredient list fool you. This is a recipe that's so easy to make, yet so delicious, that everyone inhales it.



1 large potato, per person
1/4 cup chopped celery, per person (include leaves)
1/4 cup chopped onion, per person
1/4-1/2 cup milk or half-and-half or cream
salt and pepper, to taste
Peel and cube potatoes.


Put in a saucepan along with the onions and celery.


Add water, but don't quite cover the vegetables.


Bring to a boil, lower heat, cover and simmer for 25 minutes, or until all of the vegetables are very tender.


Using a potato masher, coarsely crush the potatoes, but don't mash them--you want chunks left.
Add enough milk or cream to thin to desired thickness and add salt& pepper to taste.
(It will take a lot of salt!).
