Potato soup recipe

Family Potato soup

8 chicken bouillon cubes (I sometimes use more.  Add at end for taste.  Makes it salty)
10 med. potatoes, peeled and cut in medium chunks
2 stalks celery
2 carrots
1 large onion

Directions:
Cut and cook all together in just enough water to cover the potatoes.  When done, drain and save the stock.  Mash with 1/2 stick of butter ( I often leave this out).  It should be a little lumpy.  Add 1 pt. of 1/2 and 1/2.  If too thick, add some of the stock back until its a good consistency.


To make this a cheaper recipe, substitute a white sauce fro the 1/2 and 1/2.   I do it both ways.
