My mother made this for us it is simple and you can jazz it up if desired. It is a simple version and can be made quickly when in a hurry. It is a great comfort food for us. I serve with a good bread and crackers. Ingredients:
2 -3 lbs potatoes, peeled and cut up |
1 (32 ounce) box chicken stock or 4 cups water |
1 onion, diced |
salt |
pepper |
garlic powder (optional) |
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk or 1 (12 ounce) can whole milk |
1/2 cup butter (can use margarine if desired) |
water, to thin soup, if desired |
Directions:
1. Place peeled potatoes and diced onions with seasonings in med-large pot and pour in chicken stock (or water), it should just barely cover the potatoes, if a few are above the chicken stock that is okay.
2. Turn on med-high and bring to a boil and cook till potatoes begin to fall apart. Remove from heat and mash with a potato masher for a rough mash, (use an electric hand mixer or hand held mixer to mix to a smooth mash, if desired).
3. Add milk and butter and place back on med heat to heat through and melt the butter (or margarine). If a thinner soup is desired, add additional broth or water.
