Potato Soup Recipe wanted
 

I would love to have a good recipe for Potato Soup that could be done in the crock pot (or stove top.) I'd like it to
be a thick soup, not just milky. Thanks everyone!

I don't have the recipe here just yet, but my girlfriend puts instant potatos at the end to thicken it up. I think that is a good idea.

My DD makes a baked potato soup -- here is a link.

This is the easiest potato soup recipe.

Peel potatoes and chunk them up
Diced celery, diced onions and I like carrots so I shred them
Cover with chicken broth to cook until tender.
I add one can of evaporated milk and half a stick of butter.
Salt and Pepper to taste
Add potato flakes to thicken as desired.

We like crumbled sausage and cheese on it with finished. Serve with sourdough crutons.

I don't measure anything because it depends on how much I want to make. I don't like it leftover so we usually just make enough for lunch.

I make assorted veggie soups much the same as these recipes, but whenever I make it as all potato soup (with a bit of onions, celery, carrots for flavour) it comes out like wallpaper paste!

Please do tell ... what's the secret?

I use Christie Jordans' from Southern Plate dot com...
It is delicious.

Can't supply pot soup recipe but can give you a lovely pot and leek recipe, if you'd like it plse PM ,as can't sort this new thing yet ,and who knows whether I'll ever get back to this maessage.

I have a potatoe soup recipe that is a little different but my daughter cooks it in the crockpot and I do it stovetop. I dice my potatoes and add dry diced onions and chopped celery. I think she puts it on low in the crockpot. I cook until done and then add a couple of tablespoons of instant mashed potatoes and velvetta cheese, I add salt and pepper to taste and everyone seems to love it. You can also add cubed ham if you want.

I've used this recipe for sooo many years. Grandma Webster who babysat us in Gary IN made this for us. Diced potatoes, diced onions, cook until tender, add butter and milk, simmer til warmed through. When you start adding celery, carrots, etc., it's vegetable soup, not potato soup to me. DH not crazy about this soup because there is no "meat" in it. But I love this recipe and it's the one I stick with. I can eat the whole pot by myself no problem.

The secret to any good cream soup is the chicken broth. Once I found out that you can use it in anything my soups starting tasting wonderful. Try it.

I pretty much use the same recipe except I usually don't add carrots - I add lots of celery and onions - when I want clam chowder - I just make the same and add clams to the mix.

Anyway, after sauteing the celery onion mix - I add water, canned milk (or regular milk - depending on what I have) then I cut all my potatoes into uniform little cubes - add salt pepper and butter. Usually cooks for about 45 mins - when the potatoes are soft.
I always make homemade croutons to go with it. I cube up leftover bread (french or sourdough are the best) then melt butter and garlic together - then pour the mix over the cubes - place in the oven about 400 for about 10-15mins -make sure and turn them and keep an eye on them. This really makes the soup way better. Hope this helps.

Our potato soup - passed down through the family and great when someone isn't feeling good -

Peel and dice potatoes (a fair amount) boil until "just" tender - not mushy and drain. While the potatoes have been boiling, take and slice an onion (a good amount) and then coarsely dice, and some clove garlic. Gently cook some chopped bacon in the skillet, take out and drain, throw the onion and garlic into the bacon fat until sort of transparent, take out and drain. Put the potatoes into a pot, add milk (a little canned and some regular), a little garlic powder and some butter and get it all nice and warm. Then add in the bacon and onion mixture you just did above and let sit (or lightly simmer) for a bit. You can sparingly use a potato masher to some of the potatoes to make a little thicker - - - - and then a bonus: you can also throw a can or two of chopped clams and juice in and have excellent clam chowder.

Mom always made it when I was growing up, my family, and my daughter's family also. If you're not feeling good, have a nice warm bowl and then go jump into bed for a couple hours, guaranteed you will feel better!! :-)

This recipe has always been my "go to" quick potato soup recipe....
Fry up several slices of bacon which have been chopped into small pieces, along with as much onion and celery as you like. While the bacon and onion is cooking, cube up about 2-3 pounds of red potatoes (I don't even peel them, but you could). Remove
the bacon, celery & onion from fry pan, and add potatoes. Cover and cook on low for about 10 minutes, stirring once in a while. When potatoes are nearly done, drain any excess grease from pan and add the bacon, celery and onion back in along with with a can of cream of chicken soup and about 1/2 cup of sour cream and a can of whole kernel corn. Once this comes to a
low simmer, if you want it thinner just add a little milk. You can salt and pepper to taste, but the chicken soup is salty
enough for our taste, so check it first. It's actually more of a potato chowder, and is delicious. Takes about 1/2 hour from start to finish :-)

I just made this a couple of nights ago and family loves it:
Peel and slice 6-8 potatos-dice 1 onion and add to potatos
Boil until tender-drain excess water
Add milk to cover potatoes
Add 1 stick butter and 1 package cream cheese-cutting cream cheese into small chuncks
Salt and pepper to taste
Cook on low heat until cream cheese has melted stirring frequently.

This soup always comes out thick and is a crowd pleaser

I make a good potato soup. I don't have a recipe as such. If I have leeks, I will saute them till they are soft. Then I add them to cut up potatoes in a pot with a little water just to cover. I also add some shredded or sliced carrot, sliced or chopped celery, cook all that till it is tender, then add some chicken broth, a little milk if desired. I then use my immersion blender to cream it. But leave some chunks. Then I add crumbled bacon. When I serve it I sprinkle a little shredded cheese over the top. I love this. Season it to suit your taste.

that is how i make mine also we love it a lot i make it several times in the winter.

Hearty Bacon Potato Chowder

1/2 lb. bacon cut into 1" pieces
2 c. cubed potatoes
1/2 small onion, diced
1/4 c. celery, diced
1/2 c. water
1 1/2 c. 2% or whole milk
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 c. frozen corn
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp thyme
8 oz ( 1 c.) sour cream ( add last)

In a 3 qt. sauce pan, cook bacon over medium heat for approx. 10 min. Add potatoes, onion, celery and water. Cook and stir approx. 15-20 min. until potatoes are tender. Add remaining ingred. except sour cream.Continue cooking stirring occasionallyuntil heated through. Approx. 10-12 min. Stir in sour cream and heat till warmed through. This recipe is very thick and we like this recipe so much, I always double the recipe....except the bacon.

Can serve with soft bacon bits on top and shredded cheddar cheese if desired.

My potato soup,

2 to 3 slices of bacon, diced fine
1 medium onion, diced

Cook the bacon in your soup pot over low heat until the fat starts to cook out. Add the onions and cook until translucent.

Add,

2 to 3 russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2 inch cubes.
a Tablespoon of dried parsley flakes, crushed
a teaspoon and a half of dried celery flakes, crushed
a teaspoon of salt
just enough water to cover the potatoes

Bring to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender. When the potatoes are done add enough milk to bring it to your desired soupiness level.

Ever made mashed potatos from scratch? Peel & cut up your taters, add enough water to cover them, salt & pepper. When they reach the mashing stage, lighty mash. at this point you need corn starch and a small can of evapored milk and one stick of butter. Open canned milk and dilute with water, if your soup gets too thick, use this to thin it. Now the corn starch is used to thicken the soup (kind of a balancing act at this point). One or two tablespoons of corn starch mixed with HOT water - keeps it from lumping - must add while corn starch mixture is hot. Pout and stir into taters at the same time. May not need all of the mixture. If it gets too thick use the milk to thin - drop a stick of butter in the soup stir. This is a stove top recipe - Dish into bowls and enjoy - may need a bit more salt & pepper to taste. Hot cornbread makes a great side dish.

Hrarty Potato Soup
 

6 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced
2 carrots, diced
6 celery stalks, diced
2 quarts water
1 onion, chopped
6 tablespoons butter or margarine
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1-1/2 cups milk

In a large kettle cook potatoes, carrots and celery in water until tender, about 20 minutes.
Drain, reserving liquid and setting vegetables aside.
In the same kettle, saute onion in butter until soft. Stir in flour, salt and pepper: gradually add milk,
stirring constantly until thinckened. Gently stir in cooked vegetables. Add 1 cup or more of reserved cooking liquid until soup is of desired consistency.
Yeild: 8-10 servings (about 2-1/2 quarts.

This is from Taste of Home several years ago. You can add crumbled bacon and cheese or other toppings.
It is a good soup that you can make the consistency you like by adding the liquid at the end.

Here are the ingredients, that I use for potato soup. You don't really have to measure, just add for the quantity of soup you want to make. Cook bacon slices until crisp, crumble. Saute onions in same pan as you used to cook the bacon, minus the grease(you can add a bit of margarine, butter or oil.) Cook onions until soft and a bit browned. Add together with milk,
add a can of corn, juice and all. Thicken with instant potatoes, season with salt and pepper to taste. Sometimes I add a can or two of evaporated milk for richness. This works in crock pot or on top of the stove.

My potato soup began many years ago as a way to use up leftovers from Thanksgiving dinner. Basically, here's what I do:

Cook up some bacon till crisp and set aside for now
in the same frying pan saute onion and celery till soft with parsley, salt and pepper. (if you have leftover stuffing use that instead)
Either make fresh mashed potatoes or use leftover and put in a nice big pot. Add more milk and double strong chicken stock (add some extra bouillon) till the mashed potatoes are as thin or thick as you desire. If you have leftover gravy throw that in too. It's excellent with the gravy added.
Add your veggies and let it simmer for a bit to meld the flavors.

(sorry there are no specific measurements but that all depends on how much mashed potatoes you have)

Put into bowls and top with some cheddar cheese and the bacon crumbles.

Enjoy!!

I make a thick hearty potatoe soup. Peel and dice potatoes, dice a med. onion and about 1/2 lb. carrots. Boil just covered with water. I add 2 cubes of chicked bouillon at this time. Salt and pepper to taste. Boil until veg. are fork tender. Add 1/2 bag frozen cauliflower and 1 bag (sm.) broccoli. Add 2-3 tbsp. butter. Cover with milk. Boil until broc. and caul. are thalled and warm. Cube 1 lb. velveeta cheese and add to the soup. Cook until cheese is melted. This will get thick and is yummy. I add celery if I have it. My family loves it.

Just like using rice in a soup recipe, the starch adds "paste" to the soup. My mom started cooking rice or potatoes separately in another pot and then adding them to the soup. Also, be careful not to overcook.
No more paste!

2 tbsp butter/margarine
1/8 cup apple cider vinegar
2 Tbsp flour
1/2 tsp salt
pepper to taste - add vinegar/flour paste about 10 minutes before you want to serve, this will thicken your soup.

I start with cubed potatoes, add diced onion, celery, and thick slices of beef kielbasa. Cook in water to cover till tender then add milk and cream. I then add cheese dumplings. Yummy. It gets better reheated.

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

Mine is done this way only I add chunks of ham sometimes also just after i get the butter and milk warmed up in it I add two tablespoons of cornstarch to a cup of milk and mix it in makes it thick and yummy

cream of mushroom soup campell-diced celery, onions,stick butter,ham,one can evaported milk and 2% milk after potatoes are done and veg. add everything else. add milk last

I posted twice. Left corrected one.

There is a recipe on Allrecipes.com for "Delicious Ham and Potato Soup" I've made many times and gets great reviews. I have made with ham, chicken, OR turkey. My favorite is Turkey sliced thick from the deli, and I cut it into cubes. It is so delicious!!! Enjoy. I have also served in sourdough bowls. ( we put in a few dashes of Tabasco sauce on top.)

I cut potatoes in chunks, add onion and boil till potatoes are almost mushy add oleo and cheese.
mix flour, salt and pepper and milk and temper with hot water from potatoes add to pot and add more milk as needed for the thickness you want.
serve with cornbread
I sometimes add left over mac and cheese when company shows up .

This was a recipe I found out about when on WeightWatchers. It's easy and the more you cook it the thicker it will get.

2 lg containers of chicken broth
1 package O'Brien hash brown potatoes ( hash browns with onions & peppers in it)
1 pk. Pioneer Country Gravy mix.
Cook the broth and potatoes until they are as thick as you like. Mix the gravy mix in water. I usually mix it in half at a time. Add to the potatoes. Cook a few more minutes.

Hope you like it.

I use an easy one, 2 cups diced cooked potatoes, 1 can of creamed corn, 2 cups milk...I also add celery flakes and cooked diced carrot if I have it....so good...

I usually thicken my potato soup with a flour and water paste. Mix flour with cold water then stir into the hot soup until desired thickness.

I have been making a simple, old fashioned (I guess) potato soup all my life. I start with a "roux". Which is melted butter, EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) or similar oil and garlic. First add the oils and then the flour (whole wheat works well and adds flavor) stir constanly, a paste forms, then start to add your milk (any kind up to condenced) or chicken broth, it becomes a thick sauce which you control with more or less roux. After that add whatever you like! I saute all veggies before adding. You can add ham, celery, carrots, onions, potatoes, anything you like. Don't forget to salt and pepper quilt a bit and really like Mrs Dash seasoning in mine. PM me if you like and we can talk about this recipe. I guarantee it is an excellent soup you'll love.

Bear Creek puts out a Creamy Potato Soup Mix in a bag that makes 1/2 gallon and it's scrumptious. All you add is a pot and 8 cups of water! I've added bacon, sour cream and cheese to the mix, and I've also added corn to make "Chowdah". You can trust what I offer - I am on the fluffy side and know about good food!

Can anyone help me? I think that there was a receipe posted here this past summer some time for PLUM BREAD. Does anyone remember this and if you do, can you help me find it? Thanks.

How lazy are you? I hate cooking.
