If anyone wants to make a really good potato soup, here is a recipe. It sounds kinda complicated, but it is very easy!
Cheesy Potato Soup
1/2 stick butter
1/2-1 cup each of onions and celery
saute the onions and celery in the butter until softened and translucent
5-6 medium or medium-large potatoes, peeled and cut into small pieces
Add the potatoes to the onion and celery after they are cooked. Cover with water until it is about 1/2" above the top of the potatoes. Add some pepper to taste. Cover and boil until potatoes are soft. Let cool for just a little bit.
Take about 1/2 of the potatoes out of the water and mash them (I use my mixer), then add them back to the pot again. Add:
1 large can of chicken stock
1 block of Velveeta Cheese
about 3/4 lb. of good deli ham that has been chipped up fine
Heat and stir until the Velveeta is melted and mixed thru. Taste at this point. If it is good enough, you are done. If you need to, you can add a little bit of "Better than Boullion", chicken flavor
Enjoy!
