It's A Soup-Tacular!

The Easiest Potato Soup

*3-4 peeled and chopped potatoes
(I personally like to use red potatoes and leave the skin on)
*Instant Potato Flakes
*Milk
*Butter
*Salt & Pepper

*Chop potatoes and place in boiling water – enough to cover about 2-3 inches.

*Boil potatoes until fork tender.

*Add potato flakes until you absorb the water and have a runny mashed potato consistency.

*Add milk until the soup is the thickness you like. I prefer my soup a little on the runnier side. If you like it thicker, use more flakes and less milk.

*Butter and salt the heck out of it. Did I mention I love butter and salt?

The above is the Basic Recipe. Here’s how to kick it up a notch and turn it into :

Loaded Baked Potato Soup

Add in any combination:

Pepper
Grated Cheese
Bacon Bits
Sour Cream
Red Onion

Crackers
Celery
Chives

And yes, you did see this at Rocks for Works for Me Wednesday – but trust me. It bears repeating. :) Can’t wait to see all the great soup recipes!

    We had potato soup tonight. My recipe is a little different, but really, how can anyone go wrong with potatoes, butter, and salt, right? :)

    I’ll have to wait on this one. It’s in the mid-80′s here today and tomorrow!

    Forget a white Christmas – I’m dreaming of a Christmas below 70 degrees!

    Thanks for the recipe! I make potato soup a lot, but have never used the flakes. Good idea!
    Have you ever added corn? Our favorite is with corn, bacon and cheese. Mmmmmm.

    Yummy another recipe for Potato Soup and its easy too! Hopefully, I won’t get the eye roll along with “potato soup again” by using a different recipe!

    Hi Lisa!

    Just perusing your older posts since I have been out of the loop so long!

    Putting this in the recipe file–I am all about simple.
