Potato Soup

I know it's been a while, a LONG while. I apologize, but I wasn't sure anyone was reading this anyway. I've been a little busy adapting to a new country and trying to keep my child from seriously injuring himself! Last night I needed to find a good potato soup recipe. So I turned to allrecipes. Luckily, I found one that uses mashed potatoes, so those leftovers went to a good cause finally!

Potato Soup
- 1 Tbsp. butter
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 6 c. mashed potatoes
- 2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
- 1/2 c. milk
- salt and pepper to taste

In a medium soup pot melt butter over low heat and then sautee onions until tender. Stir in mashed potatoes and then slowly add chicken broth. Stirring, add milk (use more or less to reach desired consistency). Cook until heated through and then add salt and pepper.

Serves: 6

As many of the reviewers noted, this is a good starting off recipe. It will taste much better if you add your own mix-ins such as basil, chives, cheese, etc.
