Although my Potato Soup is quite simple, it is simply divine on a cold winter day.
1 onion finely chopped
1 stalk celery finely chopped
3 medium potatoes grated
1 medium potato cut into small cubes
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Lots of REAL butter
Toppings and add ins - optional - be creative with toppings
Bacon
Cheese
Ham
French fried onions
Melt a couple tablespoons butter in a large saucepan. Add onion and celery and cook until tender. Add grated potatoes and cook for several minutes stirring constantly to keep potatoes from sticking. Add the cubed potatoes and cover potatoes with water and simmer soup for about an hour adding more water as needed. During the last 1/2 hour of cooking slowly add heavy cream stirring constantly to keep the cream from curdling. Add butter and stir well. Serve with your choice of toppings.
