This southern food recipe is for a delicious potato soup. If you like potato soup from a can, you’ll love this – it’s much better. Hubby really enjoys this for dinner in the winter. We like to sprinkle parmesan cheese on our bowls of soup, but you might prefer a little cheddar.
Southern Potato Soup Recipe
Ingredients:
- 5 large baking potatoes
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, minced
- 2 ribs celery, chopped
- 1/3 cup chopped green bell pepper
- 2 cups milk
- 2 teaspoons garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Parmesan cheese
Directions: Peel and dice potatoes and cook in salted water until just fork tender. Drain and set aside.
In a medium sauce pan, melt butter and cook onion, celery, and bell pepper over medium heat until soft. Stir in one cup milk and reduce heat to medium-low. Reserve one cup cooked potatoes and add remaining potatoes to pan.
Combine the one cup of reserved potatoes with remaining cup of milk. Blend until smooth, like thin creamed potatoes. Add to pan. Stir in garlic salt, black pepper, parsley, and paprika. Add water, if needed. Simmer until soup is hot.
Ladle into soup bowls or mugs and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
