Potato Soup My Way
5lbs red potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
2 cans cream mushroom soup
16 oz. sour cream
salt and pepper to taste
2 tsp. basil
1 bay leaf (remove after cooking)
1 stick of butter - the real thing
2 med onions chopped
1 small package of fresh mushrooms sliced
several sticks of celery chopped (3-5)
Boil potatoes until cooked, pour off water, mash slightly but leave chunks.
Saute onions, mushrooms and celery in butter until tender. Add all ingredients in a large pot add milk to desired consistency.
This is by no means low calorie, but oh so good.....Yum and enjoy.
My own recipe that is in our family cookbook.
