My Grandma’s Potato Soup is a very hearty soup, it can actually be a meal on its own.
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
Large Pot of Potatoes
1 Tablespoon Salt (or less)
2-3 onions, chopped fine
2-3 cups celery, chopped fine
1 Litre (1 quart) potato water
1 Litre (1 quart) heated milk
1 1/2 teaspoon Celery salt
1/3 Cup butter
2 teaspoon dill
1 Cup grated cheese (or more)
pepper to taste
Directions
Boil potatoes and regular salt. Either add onions and celery straight to boiling water, or stir-fry first and then add.
Drain, saving the water, when potatoes are well done and mash thoroughly. The better you mash them the smoother the soup will be.
Add reserved potato water, heated milk, celery salt, butter, dill, grated cheese and pepper. Stir well.
Cook on low heat and stir for about 20 minutes.

Hi Pat,
Do you peel your potatos before you boil? Or do you leave the skin on?
Thanks

Hi Emily
It’s personal preference.
I usually peel the potatoes first, but you don’t have to.
If you leave them on, just make sure to do a really good job of mashing.
Also, if you leave the skins on, they need to be washed and scrubbed well.
I hope this helped.

Hi Pat,
Thanks so much for this recipe. I made it on Friday night. My boyfriend, who usually does not eat soup, loved it! I added a few things… bacon, minced garlic and a bit of cayenne pepper. It turned out great. Just finished another bowl for lunch today.
Thanks again!
