Old-Fashioned Potato Soup Archives

My wife’s dad used to make potato soup almost every Sunday morning. With the weather turning cooler here, she asked if I’d make a pot of old-fashioned potato soup, so I did.

The beauty of this very tasty soup is just how easy it is to make. I did make one small change over my wife’s dad’s version in that I added a bit of chopped parsley. Hopefully he would approve of that change if he was here today.

I used Russet potatoes for this old-fashioned potato soup since they hold up a bit better than say yellow potatoes. No one wants a soggy potato soup.
