Grandma’s Homemade Potato Soup
Before dishes like Cheesy Potato Soup with Bacon and Loaded Baked Potato Soup became popular, there was Grandma’s Potato Soup. Simple and unassuming, not much more than potatoes, onion, water, butter, and milk, really, but so very good and comforting. With about half a dozen potatoes to use up and The Cajun still nursing a tender stomach from a bout with the flu, I peeled those babies and threw them in a pot.
The amount of butter here is just a suggestion. Feel free to use more or less at your own discretion according to your dietary preferences. Unless you’re not feeling well – then just throw caution to the wind.
Here’s how to make this wonderful soup. As always, the full recipe text with measurements, instructions, and a printable document are located past the step-by-step pictures, along with some variations if you enjoy ham, bacon, cheese, and such. Keep scrolling past the pictures below!
