I grew up on this. It is a major component of my "comfort food arsenal". It's NOT a heavy, thick potato soup, but it's very satisfying. This is a good recipe to keep on-hand when money gets tight. It will feed a hungry family of 4 for almost nothing.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 to 5 large potatoes
2 medium onions
1 stick butter
2 12 oz. cans evaporated milk
salt and pepper to taste
oyster crackers

Steps:

  • 1. First off...do NOT NOT NOT get EVAPORATED milk confused with sweetened condensed milk...yuck.
  • 2. Peel potatoes and onions. Cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Cut onions into 1-inch pieces.
  • 3. Place potatoes and onions in large pot, add water just to cover (about 1 inch above potatoes). Boil until potatoes are soft but not mushy.

This soup is so versatile. I've made it with different types of cheese, different types of milk, and different vegetables. It always turns out great.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used almond milk instead of regular milk. The soup turned out great! I couldn't even tell that it was dairy-free.

This soup is way too salty. I think I accidentally added too much salt. I'm going to have to make it again with less salt.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out watery. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I would have liked it to have more flavor. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.

I'm not a fan of potato soup, but this recipe was actually pretty good. The soup was creamy and flavorful, and the bacon added a nice touch. I would definitely make this again.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover potatoes. I always have potatoes on hand, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use them in.
