Today starts the first day of soup month. I’m gonna start the month with a family favorite - potato soup. This morning I woke up to temperatures in the 40’s, so I’m raring to get something warm and yummy cooked up for dinner.

Potato Soup:

6 larger potatoes

1 large yellow onion - chopped

1 16oz. container of chicken broth

1 qt. of half and half

1 stick of butter

Salt and pepper to taste

Cube the potatoes and cover the potatoes and onion with broth. Add enough water just to cover the potatoes and add salt and pepper to taste. . Bring to a boil and then simmer until the potatoes are soft. Remove the potatoes from the heat and use a masher or the back of a spoon to mash. (How much you mash is up to you. We prefer to have some chunks of potato, but my in-laws mash them a lot and have a thick, creamy potato soup.) Add the butter and stir until melted (the recipe calls for a stick, but I only use 1/2 stick) and then stir in the half and half until heated through. Serve with crusty bread. Enjoy your soup!
