I grew up on this. It is a major component of my "comfort food arsenal". It's NOT a heavy, thick potato soup, but it's very satisfying. This is a good recipe to keep on-hand when money gets tight. It will feed a hungry family of 4 for almost nothing.

How To Make dad's potato soup

Step 1

First off...do NOT NOT NOT get EVAPORATED milk confused with sweetened condensed milk...yuck.

Step 2

Peel potatoes and onions. Cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Cut onions into 1-inch pieces.
Step 3

Place potatoes and onions in large pot, add water just to cover (about 1 inch above potatoes). Boil until potatoes are soft but not mushy.
Step 4

Do NOT drain off water. Add EVAPORATED milk and butter, stir. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with oyster crackers on top.
