Potato Soup

Servings 10

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs russet potatoes
  • 2 cups 2% milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 12 green onions (chopped)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Peel potatoes and cut into 1” pieces.  
  • Fill a large pot of water with just enough water to cover the potatoes and bring it to a boil. 
  • Reduce the heat to a simmer and continue to cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes until soft. When poked with a fork, the potato should mostly fall apart. While you are waiting, chop the green onions. 
  • Remove from heat and drain most of the water, from the pot, leaving just a half inch of water at the bottom of the pot. (This doesn’t have to be exact so don’t stress!) Get out the milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. 
  • Add the milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then gently mash the potatoes with the back of a fork until the potatoes start to break down. I like my soup chunky, but if you like it smoother, you could use a potato masher or a blender. 
  • Continue to cook on low heat for 5 minutes. 
  • Divide into bowls and top each bowl with a little cheese, green onions, and additional salt and pepper to taste
