Categories     Soup

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4-5 medium russet potatoes (about 3 pounds) (peeled and diced; about 6 cups diced))
1 medium onion, diced (about two cups diced)
2 stalks celery, diced (about 1 cup diced)
1 carrot, peeled and diced (about 1/2 cup diced)
1 cup milk (2% dairy milk or unsweetened plain almond milk are both great)
1 teaspoon kosher salt + more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper + more to taste
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • To a 4-quart or larger dutch oven or soup pot, add the potatoes, onion, celery, and carrots. Add water to approximately 1/2 inch below the top of the vegetables.
  • Set on stove and turn to high.
  • Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer until all of the vegetables are soft, stirring occasionally - about 20 minutes.
  • Using a potato masher, carefully mash most of the soup (it's going to be hot!), leaving a few chunks for texture.
  • Stir in the milk and the parsley. Add 1 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Taste and add more salt and pepper if desired. (I usually add about one more teaspoon of salt - potato soup takes a lot of salt! But you may wish to use less. Or more!)
  • Serve. The soup will thicken as it cools.
  • To store, refrigerate in an airtight container. Reheat in soup pot. If the soup is very thick upon reheating, it can be thinned out with some water.
