Darn good soup. Almost identical to my Grandma's recipe except add three ribs of celery sliced thin including tops. cook until soft in lightly salted water barely to cover. Mash veggies a little when they're soft, then add milk/cream/butter to taste. To make this soup a soul warming experience use real butter and half milk and half cream.

Grandma, and then my Mom made this soup at least twice a week for lunch in winter. I never got tired of it. Comfort food at it's most comforting. Grandma always made her own crackers, too. She said it was less fuss than going to the store.

I left the potato skins on for extra vitamins, added finely chopped celery, onion, and chicken. I used chicken broth instead of water, then added lots of seasoning and served with corn bread. Huge success with my meat and potatoes guys.

You must have crumbles of bacon, chives, and cheddar cheese for garnish. Also use the pan you cook the bacon To fry some onion and garlic in the pan with butter before you start the soup.

Delicious!!! I boiled the potatoes carrots and onion in 2 cans of chicken broth with 1 cup of water. When the vegetables were done I drained 1/2 the liquid, mashed some of the potatoes, added a can of corn and whisked in 1 cup of heavy cream. I then added, like some others suggested,potato flakes. Great idea people it was so good!!! Thank you!!!

This is almost exactly like my mother's! To thicken it, she takes a potato masher and mashes just a few of the potatoes. It's so simple and delicious!

I liked the recipe but after I added the milk it tasted real milky so I added 2 chicken broth squares and just a bit of garlic powder and parsley and now it tastes super!
