All that to tell you that I made this deliciously creamy soup today and below is the recipe!
Creamy Potato Soup Recipe
4 tablespoons onions chopped
4 tablespoons chopped celery
3 tablespoons margarine or butter
4 cups milk*
4 servings worth of dry instant mashed potatoes
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
*1/2 teaspoon crushed garlic, optional*
*Omitted: 1 1/2 teaspoons chicken boullion*
*Omitted: 1 1/2 teaspoons chicken boullion*
In a saucepan, saute onion in margarine or butter over low
heat. Add milk, seasonings and instant potato flakes. Heat to almost
boiling, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Garnish with paprika, parsley
or grated cheese if desired. Add milk (*or water) if it is too thick.
I always try to just use up what I have in my fridge or
pantry. You can use regular onions or
green onions. You can also substitute herbs,
salt and pepper for the boullion.
*You can also reduce the cost and calories by substituting 2
cups of water for 2 cups of the milk.
I don’t keep milk in the house so I used instant non-fat milk and
followed the directions to make 4 cups of milk*
I had stayed away from instant mashed potatoes for years and then bought them to try them as a breading which turned out delicious. Last week,I added a little to thicken up a soup and that was also a success so your recipe is a "must try". I love potato soup and I am happy to cut down on a prep time. Thanks for sharing this with My Meatless Mondays.
