I love potato soup and the recipes sound close to the one I use. I have one extra tip, I peel and cut my potatoes in half and slice them on my mandolin. They cook much faster this way and I can have potato soup quicker.

Made this for supper last night. Since there's only 2 of us it was more than we need but will just freeze it. Best soup I've had in a long while. Going to have it for lunch today. DH had to have a ham sandwich with it though. Always has to have a sandwich with soup no matter what. LOL!!

My recipe is different. I peel and cook the potatoes in water, cooking carrots and onions separately. I drain the potatoes, keeping the water. I mash the potatoes, adding butter, carrots, onions and salt and pepper. We like cut up hot dogs in ours, but you can add ham or whatever. The secret I have is adding a small carton of sour cream. Then, while it is reheating, add back the drained water to make it the consistency you want. The three secrets are pepper, sour cream and butter - this is quick and easy. Do not freeze, as the sour cream will not take it.

I had this yesterday, it was delicious. I think I could have made the white sauce a little thicker but it was very tasty. thank you again . you did not say what size of chicken broth you used, but I used the 2 quarts I had in the freezer, and it was just the right amount.
