Potato Soup

Around Thanksgiving, I bought a giant bag of potatoes on sale for $1.99.  I just realized they are still sitting on my pantry floor, and haven't (amazingly) sprouted yet.  I need to make some delicious winter potato soup!

STEP 1:
Wash, peel, and cut potatoes.  The smaller you cut them, the faster they will cook.

STEP 2:
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add potatoes, and boil until tender.

STEP 3:
Drain potatoes, and return potatoes to pot.

STEP 4:
Mash potatoes.  I usually hand mash, but I did purchase a new stick blender that I may try.

STEP 5:
Add butter, milk, salt, pepper, and parsley to taste.  This is just like making mashed potatoes, but add milk until desired consistency is achieved.  I just went to the farm and purchased some REAL MILK, so that will make this soup extra nourishing!

STEP 6:
Heat soup to desired temperature for serving.  Enjoy!


I also usually serve this with smoked sausage with a little melted cheese on top.  I do this because it's what my Mom did when I was growing up.  Use grass-fed cheese to up the nutrient value for this meal.
