Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Potato Soup.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a large pot and adding your cubed potatoes.
Step 2
Pour in enough water to cover them by about an inch, creating a cozy bath for those spuds.
Step 3
Turn up the heat and bring the water to a lively boil.
Step 4
Let the potatoes cook for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until they’re tender enough to easily pierce with a fork.
Step 5
No need to drain the water just yet; it’s going to add a lovely creaminess to your soup.
Step 6
Once your potatoes are perfectly tender, lower the heat to a gentle simmer and stir in some rich evaporated milk along with a generous pat of unsalted butter.
Step 7
Now, here comes the fun part! Grab a potato masher and mash those potatoes right in the pot until they reach your preferred level of creaminess—smooth or a bit chunky, it’s all up to you! Finally, sprinkle in some salt and pepper to taste, giving everything a good stir to blend those flavors together.
Step 8
Enjoy the warmth and comfort of your homemade potato soup, perfect for any day!.
