As soon as winter comes, most of the people are seen ignoring the cans of cola and stocking up on soup powders, instead. On a cold winter night, sitting by the fireplace, sipping on hot soup, with the embers glowing in the dark, seems to the best and the most romantic way to spend the evening. While there are large varieties of soups available in the market, my favorite is potato soup, that too homemade one. It is extremely delicious and can be made in a jiffy. In case you are clueless on how to make potato soup at home, make use of the easy recipe provided in the lines below.
How to Make Potato Soup
Ingredients
- 1½ tbsp Butter
- 1 large Onion, chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 pounds Potatoes, peeled and sliced thick-thin
- 2 to 2½ cups Water
- 2 cups Milk
- Extra Butter and Freshly Ground Pepper
Instructions
- Peel and slice the potatoes.
- Chop the onions.
- Take a large pot and put the butter in it.
- After the butter melts, add chopped onions.
- Sauté the onions, but don’t let them turn brown.
- Add potatoes to the onion and thereafter, put salt and water, barely enough to cover the potatoes.
- Turn down the flame to low and let the soup simmer for 15 or 20 minutes, till the potatoes are just about done.
- Strain the milk and pour in the pan.
- Again, let the soup simmer for 15 minutes, so that the potatoes become really tender.
- Season with salt and pour into individual bowls.
- Place a pat of butter in each bowl and garnish with freshly ground pepper.
- Serve hot.
Note: Thick-thin potato slices mean thick on one side and thin on the other side.
