My potato soup is really really simple. I cut up an onion and as much potato as I want and throw in the pan. I put in enough water to cover and boil till the potatoes are tender. I drain most of the water, but not quite all (for flavor). I fry a piece or two of bacon, cut it up and throw it and the grease into the potato pan. Next I add milk - 2% if I'm feeling fat, and whole milk if I'm not - or maybe even throw in a dollop of sour cream if I'm feeling very skinny. I like lots of potatoes in my soup so I only add enough milk to make it very potatoey. I heat till hot and bubbly around the edges, but do not boil the milk. Add salt/pepper to taste.
That's it. I put it in a bowl and sometimes add a tiny dollop of butter and then I break up toast into the soup and enjoy! Sounds kinda gross, but I grew up on this soup and I love it.
