Does anyone know a quick and easy potato soup recipe?

I saw on tv once this really easy potato soup recipe and it had chunks of potatoes in it, not creamed like a chowder.Does anyone know a quick and easy potato soup recipe?
This one is creamy but not creamed. There are still chunks in it.





Cut up onions, carrots and celery. Put in a pot with a little butter and saute. Add potatoes and water to fill pot, boild until potatoes are tender. Add a little heavy cream and rue (flour mixed with a little water to thicken). Salt and pepper to taste.Does anyone know a quick and easy potato soup recipe?

Peel several potatoes and cut up in chunks. Put potatoes in a pot with enough water to cover them. When potatoes come to a boil, add some chopped onion. Cook until potatoes are tender. Add milk to cooked potatoes(amount of milk depends on how much soup you want). Add some real butter to soup. About 3 or 4 tablespoons. Let soup simmer on low for about a half an hour. I also add chopped raw onion to my bowl when I eat it. Also, if you have any leftover mashed potatoes, thin them down with some milk and whisk to smooth consistency. You can add this mixture right after you add the butter. Makes the soup thick and creamy and also uses up your leftover mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
I like to use baked potatoes,heavy cream,bacon and onions and top with cheddar cheese..
This is easy because there's no real measuring. This is a thinner soup, but you can always mash a few of the cooked potatoes and stir them into the milk if you like a thicker soup.





Peel and dice five or six medium sized potatoes and a small onion. Place in a saucepan and cover with water. Cook until the potatoes are tender, making sure to keep the potatoes covered with water.





When the potatoes are cooked, pour off all but an inch or so of the cooking water. Add enough milk to make a decent sized pot of soup (three or four cups), a tablespoon or so of butter, some cooked crumbled bacon or diced ham, and pepper, onion and garlic salt to taste.





Reheat, adjust seasonings, and enjoy with oyster crackers! You can sprinkle some shredded Cheddar cheese or a little of the green part of green onions on top for a garnish, if you like.
Take tomatto soup and put patatoes in it. It's AWESOME, but looks nasty.
Peel a potato and cut into chunks and boil them in enough water to cover them fully and cook until soft. Add salt, pepper, basil, garlic just shake a little bit in there. When potatoes are soft add 1/2 cup of cream and cook until thickens up a little.





You could add vegetables of your choice (diced onions, celery, carrots cooked with the potatoes)or you could add ham.





You could use a can of chicken or vegetable stock instead of the water but add water to it if needed to cover the potato chunks.





Or you could buy potato soup in a can
Mom's Potato Soup


8-10 large potatoes, peeled and diced

4 stalks celery sliced

Campbell's Potato Soup. Open, heat, and serve.
My recipe is creamy and has chunks of potato in it.





Peel 4 potatoes. Chop up the white part of 2 leeks or chop up one onion. Put in enough water to cover and boil until the potatos are soft. Blend or puree the cooked potatos and leeks until they are mushy mashed potatos. Return this mixture to a large pot.





Chop the remaining potato into cubes. Add to the mashed potato mixture. Add 4-6 cups water (depends how thick you like the soup), add 2 soup cubes (chicken or vegetable). Bring to a boil.





I add other veggies too. Broccoli, zuchinni, carrots, kale, etc. Boil till the veggies are cooked. Add salt and pepper as desired and serve. Very simple and really, really tasty.
