Have been making this for years. The bay leaf is what makes this one a little different from a lot of potato soups. Ingredients:
4 russet potatoes, medium sized |
1 quart water |
2 medium onions, diced |
1 bay leaf |
1/2 cup half-and-half |
2 teaspoons salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
3 tablespoons butter |
1/2 lb smoked sausage, sliced (optional) |
Directions:
1. Peel and slice the potatoes.
2. Put potatoes into a soup pot with water, onions, and bay leaf.
3. Simmer covered for 45 minutes.
4. Puree soup in batches.
5. Add half and half, salt, and pepper. Also add smoked sausage if using.
6. Cook for 15 minutes on low just until heated thoroughly without scalding the half and half.
7. Add butter and serve.
