Wanna try a family owned recipe from scratch??
Well try my wife’s and Warren Family’s home made potato soup!! In this soup is a bundle of hearty warm goodness with every bite you can taste the tradition and the love that is put into this recipe. This was started by my mom’s mom back in the 1950’s to now but she past away in the 1980’s and my mom kept it going and now since my mom is disabled she cannot make it no more so now my wife has passed on the tradition of this soup. She eye balls it mostly so it’s hard to explain how to put what in what for measurements so she is trying to explain the process with you. So below are the ingredients and the steps on how to make this traditional hearty warm meal on a cold snowy or cold rainy day!!
Potato Soup
Single Batch
10 lbs potatoes (peeled and cubed)
1 gallon 1 % milk (set aside 1 1/2 cups for thickening later)
Corn starch
Half of large vidalia onion (diced small)
Step 1: After Peeling and cubing potatoes you put them into a pot of hot water and set the pot on a med-hi heat to boil. Cook potatoes till potatoes are tender enough to easily push a fork through...drain the potatoes in a strainer and place them back into the same cooked in.
Step 2: Peel and dice up an onion. Once done with this you take a stick of butter and put into a small saucepan with the diced onions...cook onions till the onions are translucent (nearly see through).
Step 3: Pour 2/3 of the gallon of milk over the potatoes in the cooking pot...or till the milk just covers the top of most of the pot's contents. Take a coffee cup from the cupboard (it's what I was shown to use for this step) and pour milk into the cup leaving about two inches of space from the top of the cup. From here you are going to stir or beat in with a fork about 6 Tbsps of cornstarch. After combining these items well...take and pour it's contents into the cooking pot with the potatoes and milk....
Step 4: Turn the burner on to a medium heat and stir the cornstarch mixture(slurry), milk and potatoes. Do this continuously so as not to burn the bottom. This also starts to create a thickening in the soup base. Stir until you have a desired consistency or just over this. Add a stick of butter to add flavor as well as loosen the base of the soup. Serve while piping hot. Store leftovers and have leftovers for the next day....
