Potato Soup

​Potato soup is not hard – potatoes, butter and cream basically – but I found a way to make it even easier:  It’s called Costco.
 
Ha.  Costco has awesome pre-made potato soup in two plastic containers, enough for a family of five.  But you can improve on this.

Heat up the soup, boil two whole potatoes with skins on for 20 minutes after you quarter them. If you want the potato “feel” to be harder rather than mushier, decrease the boiling time.  As you simmer the soup for about 10 minutes, add some butter at the end, then the potatoes you are boiling after you mash them to a consistency you enjoy.  Extra cream or skim milk is also a good idea, as is a touch of garlic and pepper.
 
I did not add bacon for our feast, but it sounds like a good idea, so while you are boiling the potatoes, you can fry up some bacon to your personal taste, then cut up and add to the pot.  It’s almost like mashed potatoes on steroids.
 
When you are ready to serve, garnish with diced green onions and grated cheddar (or your personal favorite) cheese.  Parsley is another option if you are daring.  Do not serve with bread, as you’ll overflow on starches.  Have sour cream ready on the side.
 
Prepare a crisp salad, call the family in, and chow down.
