This Old Fashioned Potato Soup is a warm and creamy dish made with just a few simple ingredients. Perfect for cozy family dinners or an easy weeknight meal, it provides comforting flavors everyone will enjoy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 1/2 pounds potatoes peeled and diced
  • Water with a few pinches of salt added for boiling potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 6 cups whole milk or milk of choice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt use more or less to taste
  • Ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place the potatoes in a pot and cover them with water by about 1 inch, then add a few pinches of salt. Bring to a boil and cook gently until the potatoes are tender but still hold their shape, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes, reserving about one cup of the cooking water.
  2. While the potatoes cook, melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until they soften and develop a golden color around the edges.
  3. Return the potatoes to the pot with the onions. Pour in the milk and season with salt and pepper. Warm the soup gently until small bubbles form around the edges, but do not let it boil.
  4. Simmer the soup slowly for 10 minutes, then remove it from the heat. Mash about half of the potatoes with a masher or use an immersion blender, leaving the rest in chunks. Add reserved cooking liquid if you prefer a thinner soup.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, then serve the soup hot.
