fast potato soup:
All above sounds good but I only cook for myself now, and I am a fast cook.<o></o>
I peel and dice my potatoes, wrap with saran or put in a bowl and cover with saran.<o></o>
Then I nuke them.<o></o>
Take out and mash a few times with a potato masher.<o></o>
Add diced onions and celery if on hand, and add milk., salt and lots of pepper.<o></o>
Then nuke to reheat.<o></o>
If you want bacon, take bacon bits and broil them to make them crisp, then add to soup or salad. <o></o>
Broiling the bits add 3 times the flavor of bacon.<o></o>
The soup will thicken on it’s own because the starch in still in the potatoes,[not boiled away precooking and poring off].<o></o>
I eat with Ritz’s crackers.<o></o>
