Additional Notes: 

This recipe was submitted by guest chef Lindsey Sorgard.

She notes, "I sometimes add an extra cup or so of sliced potatoes. It ends up being closer to a cream of potato soup consistency which I really like.

"My dad likes chunks in his so I cook up an extra potato or two in another pot, cut it up, and then let him add it to his soup."

Tammy's Review: 

This is THE BEST potato soup recipe!!! It's fairly simple, with a short list of ingredients, but the taste is just perfect!! I love the hint of dill, the sweetness of the onions, and the fact that everything about this soup makes the potatoes the "star"! :D Try it, try it!! My children love it too! My rating: 10/10

Also: I leave mine chunky. I skip the blender part and just mash the potatoes a little in the pan with a masher before adding the milk mixture.

Using water instead of chicken broth: If I don't have any chicken broth on hand, I just use water, adding a sprinkling of garlic salt, lemon pepper seasoning, and paprika. Delicious!!

Perfect!

I needed dinner on the table quick and didn't much stuff in the pantry or fridge. I thought "soup"! And I knew I could count on Tammy's recipes for the perfect one. Thanks!

AWESOME, EASY, and Flavorful!

We made this for our Saturday night Soup and Bread night and it was a HUGE hit for the family. We didn't have any leftovers, so hubby is making it again today. This will for sure be part of a Soup rotation!! GREAT flavor and super easy to make!

modified for a meat-eater

What a simple, homey soup! For the benefit of my carnivore husband, I omitted the salt and added 1 1/2 c. diced ham from the freezer. Now, that's hope he enjoys this meal despite an Autumn suddenly warm again!

Thank you, Tammy! And well done, Lindsey. :)

Yummy

Made this today and it took longer than I thought but was well worth it. we like oour soups thick if it has flour involved so we added some corn starch to thicken it up.

Yummy, hearty, delicious soup!!

This is by far my most favorite soup! It is delicious!! I make it for dinner on cold winter nights, it's that good!! My husband's favorite garnish is to fry 2 strips of bacon and crumble on top with yellow cheese, it's his version of "baked" potato soup!

yum!

I forgot to rate this when we had it a while back.I did not puree the potatoes until smooth and also I thicken mine doing the same way you did with the flour but using corn starch.I also added the dill to the soup and not the bowls later.I left out the croutons too.I wanted them but forgot to purchase them.Dh & I really liked the flavor the dill added to this.**********

I am adding in another review.I made this last week and tonight for dinner and skipped a few steps and added in something else.I liked it best this way.A great soup for everyone to try also.We love it with the dill.Here is what we do with it.

Add in pot:
3 cups of water with 3 t. of chicken bouillon,
1 onion diced up,5 cups of peeled diced pototatoes,4 T. of margarine(Cheaper for us),1/2 t. salt,few dashed of pepper,1/2 t. dill.

Bring it to a boil,let simmer.When potatoes are tender I turn off the heat add in 2 cups of milk and a heaping 1/2 cup of instant mashed potatoes and mix up and let cool enough to serve.My kids love it too :)

Creamy Potato Soup

My mother-in-law was temporarily placed on a liquid diet by her doctor, so I looked to "Tammy's Recipes" for recipe ideas. I cooked a batch of Creamy Potato Soup for her, and she and my father-in-law liked it so much that my father-in-law called to ask if I'd make some more. He said it worked perfectly for her. I also made enough for my family, and we loved it, too. My son asked if I'd make it the next night. It's an excellent soup.

Perfect winter time soup

This is my favourite soup! It is especially nice since we are able to store our own potatoes to make it throughout the winter.
