I found this recipe on Food.com (by Vina). I like to "make it my own" so some of the things here are my add-ons some are by Vina. Either way it turned out so unexpectedly good I had to share it.

How To Make potato soup

  • 1
    Put your potatoes, onions, celery in a large pan and add just enough water to barely cover the veggies.
  • 2
    Cook on high to boiling. Turn heat down to simmer. Cover. Simmer until veggies are soft, especially potatoes. If you like your celery and onions a little crunchie add them later than the potatoes. Mine took about 30 minutes.
  • 3
    Once potatoes are soft stir it up. Mushing up some of the potatoes to help thicken it up. Stir in the heavy cream and salt and pepper. I also added a little garlic salt. Simmer a few more minutes. Serve as is or sprinkle on some bacon bits and/or shredded cheese and maybe a dollop of sour cream. Enjoy!!!
