I LOVE potato soup. To me, it is one of the most satisfying; most comforting of all soups. This recipe makes a huge pot of creamy, delicious, and amazing potato soup. Not only do I love it but it is something my entire family (even my youngest son who is autistic) looks forward to with anticipation. During the winter time, I make this once a week and during the hot summer months, etc. I make it once a month. Yes, even during the summer this recipe is worth making. I hope you and your family enjoys it as much as we do and it becomes a regular for you too.
The Ultimate Potato Soup Recipe
6 lg. Russet Potatoes
2 boxes chicken broth or use homemade stock
4 c. whole milk
2 c. instant potatoes
1 T. dried parsley
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
Wash your potatoes well. Peel them and as you peel each one, place into a bowl filled with cold water.
Pour the chicken broth into a large soup pot.
Cut up your potatoes into small bite-sized chunks and add to your soup pot.
Bring the potatoes to a small boil and cook until the potatoes are tender. Once the potatoes can easily be pierced with a fork, stir in the milk, butter, chicken bouillon and spices. Turn the heat to low, stir well and allow the pot to simmer for 10 minutes.
Slowly pour in the instant potatoes. They add a lot of flavor and help to thicken the soup up a bit. I found this works so much better than adding in a roux.

Sounds good but I like just potatoes, milk and butter in my potato soup. I also like it more like chowder because I eat it really thick,
