These recipes look delicious, perfect for a cold day.

I just made potato soup yesterday.. So easy and everyone loved it.

Saute chopped onions in butter/olive oil until tender. Set aside.

Peel, cut and boil (about 6) potatoes (as if you were making mashed potatoes) until potatoes are just tender.

Drain potatoes and add fresh water to pot to cover potatoes. Add about 1 cup milk/heavy cream. Pulse with immersion blender to desired consistency, leaving some chunks of potato. Add in saute’d onions.

Dice 1/2 large carton Velveeta cheese and add to soup, simmer on low until melted.(I freeze the other half of the Velveeta to make more soup on another day.)

Add more milk/water until soup is desired consistency, if needed.

Season to taste with salt/pepper/parsley, etc.

You can add bacon or ham bits. I did add in some shredded carrots (cooked to just tender in the microwave) while simmering.

This is my go-to winter easy-yet- filling quick soup.

Yeah my wife’s potato soup is exactly like this except she uses canned potatoes produced from our garden.

Yummy
