MY MOM'S EASY POTATO SOUP



My Mom's Easy Potato Soup image

I know there are a lot of potato soup recipes on here, but this is the best I have ever had. The onion flavor adds a little something extra, and it is so easy and delicious. Everyone loves this soup...even my incredibly picky roommate. It cooks for a while; if you have a crock pot, which I don't, you can let is simmer for a while and forget about it. Also, this can be doubled easily. I hope you all enjoy.

LEFTOVER MASHED POTATO SOUP



Leftover Mashed Potato Soup image

One Thanksgiving, I asked my son-in-law, who was visiting with our daughter and her family, to make the mashed potatoes. I neglected to say how much, and he ending up paring and cooking an entire 10-pound bag of Idaho russets. After they left, we had about six cups of leftover mashed potatoes I like potato soup, so I thought maybe I could turn the leftover mashed potatoes into soup.
