Easy 20 Minute Potato Soup

"I love soup, and potato is definitely way up there on my list of favorites. Nothing really beats my homemade soups, but this is a very tasty and great alternative when you are short on time and want something hot, filling and comforting. I serve this with rolls, or sometimes with turkey club sandwiches."

  1. This is a really great recipe and it's done in about 20 minutes. I did change a few things, I left out the celery salt, white pepper and dry mustard. I didn't have them on hand. I did use fresh black pepper and add about 1/4 ts more of salt and garlic powder. I use the hashbrowns with onion and peppers along with adding the onion flakes (we love onions and garlic). We just loved the suop. I did enjoy the browned hashbrowns, it just add to the flavor of the soup. When I served it I add bacon, low fat shredded chedder cheese and chopped green onions. This will be add to the winter soup rotation. Made for My-3-Chef Fall 2008.

Hi, I'm a Wife and Mom of three girls ranging in age from 9 to 16. Two of my daughters have special needs, so life is never dull! We live in Michigan in a very rural area near the lake (lots of farmland and fishermen). My husband and I own a copywriting business and I am a food writer and blogger. I have a degree in culinary arts and love to entertain and cook. I'm constantly creating and searching for new and improved recipes to try out on our friends or on my blog. We spend a lot of time traveling and camping in the summer. Being self employed writers allows us to spend all sorts of time together and we really enjoy having the girls home all summer. We try to spend as much time as possible in the beautiful Michigan woods.
