Comforting Homemade Potato Soup

This basic potato soup recipe is delicious, easy on the stomach if you aren’t feeling well, and generally comforting.

Ingredients:

3 cups chicken stock

1 cup water

5 peeled and cubed potatoes

1 chicken bouillon cube

1/2 cup of chopped carrots

1/2 diced onion

1 clove garlic minced

3 tbsp olive oil

2 tsp salt

Optional: 2 heaping tbsp nutritional yeast

(It would also work to add a handful of shredded cheese, but I don’t really have the dairy option. But it would taste good!)

Directions:

Put it all together and boil until potatoes are soft. Let cool a little bit and blend up until very smooth. Serve hot. This soup tastes even better after a night in the fridge, for the record!


If you love romances as comforting as hot potato soup, then my books are for you! Have you checked out my Amish romances yet? You might find your next read!

Happy reading!

  1. My mom’s is even more basic. It has just potatoes, onions, butter, water, and rivvals. And it’s all done by “feel” as my granny called it. It took me up til about 8 years ago to figure it out. The hardest part was the rivvals, but it is the best part so you have to have it. 🤣The thickening is the broken down potatoes. So I do them in two steps, one chopped smalll and cooked to “cream” stage and the other the chunks to eat.

    I’ve found out that there is something called a Dublin Coddle that’s made the same with bacon and sausage. And whatever else you might want. It said it’s an empty the fridge recipe. I’ve made a potato sausage soup, but evidently the bacon is what makes it.

    1. That sounds absolutely delicious! I agree–I make my soup by feel, too, and then when I have to explain it, I have to approximate the amounts. A touch of this. A dash of that… But yours sounds just wonderful!
