Old-Fashioned Depression-Era Potato Soup 🥔
Simple pantry ingredients turn into the coziest bowl of potato soup. Nothing fancy, just creamy, filling comfort food like Grandma used to make.
Ingredients
* 6 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
* 1 medium onion, diced
* 3 celery stalks, diced
* 4 cups chicken broth
* 2 Tbsp butter
* 1 cup milk
* Salt and black pepper, to taste
* Shredded cheese and cooked bacon, optional for topping
Directions
1. Add potatoes, onion, celery, and chicken broth to a large pot.
2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20–25 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
3. Lightly mash some of the potatoes right in the pot to naturally thicken the soup.
4. Stir in butter and milk. Season with salt and plenty of black pepper.
5. Simmer gently for another 5–10 minutes without letting it boil.
6. Ladle into bowls and add cheese and bacon on top if desired.
Warm, inexpensive, and wonderfully filling—the simple recipes are sometimes the ones worth keeping. ❤️
