5 or 6 large white potatoes
1/4 c onion, chopped fine
3 Tbsp butter
4 c whole milk
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Steps:

Tips:

  • Use russet potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for potato soup because they are starchy and will break down easily, creating a smooth and creamy soup.
  • Peel and cube the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you overcrowd the pot, the potatoes will not cook evenly.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
  • Serve the soup hot: Potato soup is best served hot, with a dollop of sour cream or shredded cheese.

Potato soup is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover potatoes, and it can be made in a variety of ways to suit your taste.
