I've tweaked this recipe I found in an herb magazine I once subscribed to. Since my husband is an avid deer hunter, I sometimes use venison kielbasa. Then we call it 'Buck-Pole Soup'

Ingredients

6 large potatoes (i use russets)
3/4 c chopped onion
1/2 c celery, chopped fine (about 2 stalks)
1/2 tsp mrs. dash original seasoning
1/2 tsp italian seasoning
1/8 tsp dried basil
1/8 tsp dried parsley
1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper
2 Tbsp butter or margarine
1/4 c milk (i use 2%)
4 all-beef hotdogs, cut in 1/4" slices

Steps:

1. Peel potatoes and cut into 1" cubes; chop onion and celery; place in 4 qt. saucepan and cover with water.
2. Add seasonings and heat over medium-high heat until it potatoes are softened. Use an immersion blender (or potato masher) to break potatoes down and make it thicker and creamy consistency (we like a little chunkiness, so I blended it just a little).
3. Add in the butter and milk, stirring to blend. Add hotdogs and continue heating until the hotdogs are warmed through.
4. Ladle into bowls and enjoy!
5. Note: If you don't want hotdogs, you can use cooked meatballs (beef, turkey or chicken), or maybe kielbasa. But try it first with the hotdogs!

Tips:

For a creamier soup, use a hand blender or immersion blender to blend some of the potatoes until smooth.
If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a large pot or saucepan. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time as needed.
To make the soup ahead of time, cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
When you're ready to serve the soup, reheat it over medium heat until warmed through.
Garnish the soup with chopped fresh parsley, chives, or green onions.
Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
