Potato Soup is one of the fastest, easiest soups to make yourself. It takes very little time. This is a very simple recipe. Depending on your tastes, you can add many things to this soup: ham, bacon, cheese, celery, etc. It’s even good without the chicken granules:

Ingredients

3 1/2 cups peeled and diced potatoes

1/3 cup finely chopped onion

3 1/4 cups water

2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules

1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

1 teaspoon ground white or black pepper, or to taste

5 tablespoons butter

5 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 cups milk

Directions

1.Combine the potatoes, onion and water in a stockpot. Bring to a boil, then cook over medium heat until potatoes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the chicken bouillon, salt and pepper.

2.In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour with a fork, and cook, stirring constantly until thick, about 1 minute. Slowly stir in milk as not to allow lumps to form until all of the milk has been added. Continue stirring over medium-low heat until thick, 4 to 5 minutes.

3.Stir the milk mixture into the stockpot, and cook soup until heated through. Serve immediately.
