OLD FASHIONED POTATO & SAUSAGE SOUP
Another recipe from the 1980 version of the Grace Evangelical Congregational Church cookbook from Muir, Pennsylvania that was given to me by my Nana when I became an adult. This recipe was submitted to the cookbook by the Tallman Family. They run a potato processing plant in town. So, it make sense they submitted a potato recipe. As with so many of these recipes, they didn't specify how many servings it made so I am guessing.

OLD-FASHIONED POTATO SOUP
This soup is closest to the soup I remember as child. I have seen many renditions of it surface in several bistros. It is easy and the method can be applied to broccoli or cauliflower.

ABSOLUTELY ULTIMATE POTATO SOUP
I have made this for many whom have given it the title. This takes a bit of effort but is well worth it. Please note: for those who do not wish to use bacon, substitute 1/4 cup melted butter for the bacon grease and continue with the recipe. (I generally serve this soup as a special treat as it is not recommended for people counting calories.)

Tips:
- Use a variety of potatoes for a more complex flavor. Russet potatoes are a good choice because they break down easily and give the soup a creamy texture. Waxy potatoes, such as red or Yukon Gold potatoes, hold their shape better and can be used for a more chunky soup.
- Don't overcook the potatoes. They should be tender but still slightly firm.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth. A homemade broth will give the soup the best flavor, but a store-bought broth can also be used.
- Add your favorite vegetables to the soup. Carrots, celery, and onion are classic additions, but you can also add broccoli, cauliflower, or spinach.
- Season the soup to taste. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt and a sprinkle of chopped chives or parsley.
Conclusion:
This classic potato soup is a hearty and comforting meal that is perfect for a cold day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like it thick or thin, creamy or chunky, this soup is sure to please everyone at the table.
