PAPPY'S POTATO SOUP

SERVES 4

This is plain old potato soup the way my grandfather used to make it. It is so good and very easy. For a heartier variation, see Easy Vegetable Chowder.

INGREDIENTS

1 tablespoon butter

1 medium onion, finely chopped

6 large potatoes, peeled and diced

Water

2 to 3 cups milk

2 tablespoons butter

Salt and pepper to taste

Sauté the onions in the 1 tablespoon butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until softened. Add potatoes and just enough water to cook, about 1 cup. Season lightly with salt. Bring to a boil; cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Add the milk, remaining butter, salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook over medium heat until hot; do not boil. With a potato masher, mash some of the potatoes right in the pot to slightly thicken the soup.
