Homemade Potato Soup

Instructions:

1. Combine potatoes, celery, onion, flour, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes.
2. Melt butter in a soup pot or Dutch oven. Add potato mixture, coating well in the butter.
3. Add enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil, then add evaporated milk.
4. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 20-30 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
5. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Continue simmering until desired thickness is reached.
6. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with shredded cheese and parsley if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips:

• Green Onion: Optional; both regular and green onions work well.
• Less Chunky: Use a potato masher or immersion blender to achieve a smoother texture.
• Bacon: Add crumbled bacon for a meaty flavor.

Enjoy!
