Of course, there's probably a reason we loved it so: It's not exactly good for you...at ALL. While its true: There are lots of veggies in there, there is also a ton of butter and a can of evaporated milk. So yeah - definitely not the greatest for you. But delicious, nonetheless, and the perfect way to warm up on a cold fall evening.
Mom's Potato Soup
- 6 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 carrot, diced
- 1 celery bunch, chopped
- 2 onions, diced
- 4 chicken boullion cubes
- 1 can (13oz) evaporated milk
- 5 C water
- 1 Tbsp parsley flakes
- 1 Tbsp salt
- pepper to taste
- 1/2 (1 stick) butter
- chopped cheese on top (optional)
- Diced ham or bacon (optional)
Combine all ingredients except the milk into a stockpot or crockpot for 3-4 hours.
Add milk during last hour.
You start out with this much butter:
And add in there the diced potatoes:
Into the pot also go the diced celery, onion and carrots:
Put the boullion cubes in a prep bowl...
...add 1 Tbsp salt...
...and 1 Tbsp parsley flakes...
...and just a smidge of pepper...
...then pour it over all the veggies.
Add some diced chunks of butter, along with the water.
Set the crockpot for 6 hours (or about 4 hrs on low, followed by 2 hrs on high)
And walk away!
Meanwhile, you can do what you want, but what I did was set out some delicious Rhodes dinner rolls to rise on the counter:
Towards the end, you'll want to add the can of Evaporated Milk to the mixture, but not until the last 30 minutes or so:
And, of course, after you put in the evaporated milk, it'll give you just enough time to bake the rolls - 30 minutes at 350 degrees:
