Cheap Easy Potato Soup Recipes

Steps:

• To a 4-quart or larger dutch oven or soup pot, add the potatoes, onion, celery, and carrots. Add water to approximately 1/2 inch below the top of the vegetables.
• Set on stove and turn to high.
• Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer until all of the vegetables are soft, stirring occasionally - about 20 minutes.
• Using a potato masher, carefully mash most of the soup (it's going to be hot!), leaving a few chunks for texture.
• Stir in the milk and the parsley. Add 1 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Taste and add more salt and pepper if desired. (I usually add about one more teaspoon of salt - potato soup takes a lot of salt! But you may wish to use less. Or more!)
• Serve. The soup will thicken as it cools.
• To store, refrigerate in an airtight container. Reheat in soup pot. If the soup is very thick upon reheating, it can be thinned out with some water.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir until tender, 5 minutes. Add potatoes and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, 15 minutes. Stir in the milk, soup, garlic salt and pepper; heat until warmed through. Add cheese; stir until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• 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!).

Steps:

• Peel and dice potatoes (the smaller you dice, the faster they cook).
• Place in pan with enough water to cover potatoes.
• Cover and cook potatoes until done.
• Drain water and return to pan.
• With a potato masher, mash 1/2 of the potatoes (this will serve as your thickener).
• Add cream of celery and milk. Stir and heat on low, stirring frequently until desired temperature is reached.
• Serve with fresh chopped onion and a sprinkle of ground red pepper if desired. (this really makes it yummy).
