Amy's Potato Soup (Crock Pot or Stove Top) created by AmyMCGS

I love potato soup, and this is the recipe I've come up with after trying several recipes and combining them. It's easy to put in the crock pot and forget about it, or, if you're in a hurry, it can be made in about twenty five minutes on the stove top.

ingredients

5 -6 large potatoes, cubed
1 large onion, diced
2 tablespoons margarine
3 chicken bouillon cubes (I use bouillon paste when possible, about 2-3 TBSP)
3 tablespoons parsley
2 tablespoons cilantro
3 cups water
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
¹⁄₄ cup flour
French-fried onions (to garnish) (optional) or crouton (to garnish) (optional)

directions

Place everything but the milk and flour in the crock pot and cook on low all day.
30 minutes to one hour before serving, stir together the flour and evaporated milk until smooth, then add to soup.
After the soup starts to thicken slightly, it is ready to serve.
To make on stove top: boil potato and onion until tender, then simmer the rest of the ingredients on medium heat until thickened.
I usually garnish bowls with shredded cheddar cheese at the table.

This was really good. My boyfriend loved it! Just a tip (since you'll probably have a TON of leftovers) you'll want to add milk/water to the soup when you reheat it. It's incredibly thick! I did add a lot more garlic but that's the only alteration I made to the recipe.

A great tasting satisfying potato soup. Easy to put together, and a variety of toppings on the side so each soul can master their own creation. Gotta love it!

This is a very good base recipe to build from. Since I'm a vegetarian I made some tweaks -- traded the bouillon cubes and water for low-sodium veggie stock. I also threw in some carrots and peas to up the nutrients and stuck with plain ol' butter rather than margarine and 1% milk rather than condensed milk because I didn't have it. I didn't have cilantro either but the parsley was nice. Topped mine with a little extra sharp cheddar and it gave it a nice bite. This tasted just lovely with some fresh sourdough bread and a spinach salad on the side. Perfect for autumn!

Loved it!!!! Didnt use cilantro as I did not have any to use, it was good without it. I added lots of cheese just before serving and it was such a hit!!! Thanks!!!
