5 large potatoes
2 green onions, plus more for garnish
1/4 teaspoon dried basil, or more to taste
Salt and pepper, to taste
Water (quantity will vary)
2 1/2 cups milk (plus more if needed)
Code: 
1 Peel and roughly chop potatoes. Discard tops and bottoms of green onions and mince the remaining pieces.

2 Add potatoes and onions to a medium-sized saucepan and cover with water. Boil on high for 30 minutes, adding more water to the pot as needed, until potatoes as well cooked and soft.

3 Remove pot from heat and drain the water over a strainer until it is just under the level of your cooked potatoes. Return any onions and basil the strainer catches to the pot.

4 Add 2 1/2 cups milk to potatoes and mash until mostly smooth, leaving a few small chunks for a hearty texture. Add more milk, a dash at a time, until soup reaches your preferred consistency.

5 Season liberally with salt and pepper to taste. Return pot to the stove and heat, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes. Serve garnished with additional green onions if desired.
 
Thanks!!! That recipe sounds yummy! I’m going to have to make this soon.

I have made it from scratch before, but not for a long time now, so I buy it. Progresso brand has a decent one.

I only have had a bit of lemon flavored water this am. I am going to give my new instant pot a whirl and try making 15 bean soup. I am debating on using smoked sausage or ham as the meant.

1/2 of a bagel with cream cheese and tea. My hubby had the other 1/2 with bacon and scrambled eggs.

Apart from homemade, the absolute best potato soup I’ve eaten is O’Charley’s Loaded Potato Soup. That and free pie on Wednesday makes this girl a happy camper.😋😋😋
 
I had bone broth for lunch. Going to have to keep it in good supply after my surgery altho I’ll have to remember to let it cool off a bit so I don’t burn my throat.

I think they have wonderful potato soup, too, Lily. As a slim woman who wants to remain slim, I regretfully forgo the pie. 😦
 
I can’t pass up the pie. I gotta have my Ooey Goey Caramel Pie. Prior to tasting O’Charley’s pie, my fav had been Shoney’s (aka Big Boy on the West Coast) Strawberry Pie. I swear, I could eat that all day.
 
I like strawberry pie, Lily. Never had Big Boy. I usually stick to just plain strawberries, though. I could eat those all day! I love them! ❤️

I’ve seen the caramel pie. I did have their peach pie once, but they’d made it with peaches that weren’t ripe! Pie sacrilege!
 
For tonight’s dinner I made breaded and oven-roasted chicken leg quarters, and served peas and carrots on the side, along with mashed potatoes. I had cold bottled water to drink.
