This is a sinful recipe. Loosen your belt before eating.
To my Dearest Childhood Friend in Florida, I've added some extra spices to make it more like my mom's potato soup recipe.
Ingredients
3 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 Tablespoons butter
1 small yellow onion, diced
1 cup milk
3/4 cup half and half
2 Tablespoons flour
1 can low sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground celery seed (optional)
1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
2 teaspoons onion powder (optional)
1/2 Tablespoon dried parsley flakes (optional)
Boil potatoes until soft. Drain.
Melt butter in large pan (like a large soup pot). Add onions and saute until soft, do not brown.
In a 2-cup measuring cup, whisk together milk, half and half, and flour. Pour into pot with onions and bring to a boil. Add potatoes and stir until thickened. Add chicken broth and stir, bring to a boil. Lower heat. Add salt, pepper, celery seed, garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley flakes. Stir until well combined.
Serve hot, topped with cheddar cheese and bacon bits.
