Ingredients:

onion

potatoes

butter

milk

pinch of chicken boulion or stock

salt and pepper


Cook peeled and cut potatoes with butter, onion, and boulion in big pot with water just covering until soft. Remove from heat and mash untill all big chunks are little chunks. Return to heat, add milk to thicken, salt and peper to taste.

Nothing more to a good potato soup than that.

Extreme accuracy ITT!

It looks freaking delicious, BMW. I shall have to try it soon. Perhaps tonight, even, while the weather out here is still rainy and cold.

The way I have always done it, and the way my mom does it, is with milk. I'm guessing cream would make things quite a bit thicker. The problem is, I feel like a large part of the flavor is derrived from the starchyness of the potatoes (and is also why it is so filling and warming on a cold day), and a cream of potato soup loses alot of this flavor. Cream of potato soups also tend to have larger chunks of potato than I use, and the starchyness of the mashing plus some pours of milk thickens the broth more than well enough without cream. It looks a bit like gruel when you are done, but it tastes like yum.

You could use shallots instead of onion or with onion, or some other kind of onion. Its important to stress that this is a cooks recipie, not a chefs recipie. You are gonna make a mess, you are gonna double dip, you are gonna be tasting right out of the pan several thousand times, and there are no exact amounts of ingredients, so you add them to taste. Its the best kind of soup there is, and yes, D_cup, perfect for a cold and rainy day.

Thats actually why I called it "Perfect".

You can also use red potatoes for even more YUM factor.

Red potatoes have skins. Skins get in the way of the mashing.

I'm serious when I say that the potato pieces should be pea to grape sized.

Post results/pics when finished, especially if it's good. And butter is fabulous. It's okay to overdo it a little!

you're right, in between tastings tell me the butter is especially yummy :-D

i'll make a pic (i shall post it later cause i'm not at home now) but you can probably imagine what it looks like: light yellowish goo, but yummy :)

i'll also make a pic of the fermenting bottle of mead, once we get our makeshift waterlock fitted (ducktape, rubber bands, translucent gardenhose FTW)
