Easy One-Dish Dinner: Potato Soup

This is a favorite around here, especially if I make it with purple potatoes. I hadn't heard of purple potatoes until recently, but they taste the same and the boys love the fun color. This tastes just as good with any other kind of potatoes though, so you can use whatever you have on hand. It just won't be as colorful.

Potato Soup Recipe

• 4-6 medium/large baking potatoes
• water
• 2 cups milk or yogurt
• 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp garlic powder (or one clove fresh chopped garlic)
• salt to taste

1. Wash, and chop potatoes into small pieces.
2. Boil until soft.
3. In the blender, first add some milk or yogurt and the seasonings. Then add about 1/2 of the potatoes and some of the water, and blend until smooth. if you didn't bother to peel your potatoes like me, don't worry. You can't even taste them at all once they are blended.
4. Repeat until all of the potatoes are blended, and then stir together to distribute seasoning evenly.
5. Top with cheese, crumbled bacon, peas, sour cream, or ranch if desired, but it is great plain too.
