Potato Soup

It's soup season! This is a family favorite! Souper easy, too =)

PER PERSON, multiply as needed (I typically x4)

2 cups peeled, cubed potatoes (baking not waxy)
1/2 cup chopped onion or use 1/2 tsp onion powder
1 can chicken broth or 2 cups water + 2 tsp boullion
1 cup milk or half and half
1 tsp butter
1/4 tsp dried thyme, salt & pepper
bacon crumbles, shredded cheese, scallions and sour cream for topping

Combine potatoes, onion and chicken broth. Cover and bring to a boil, cook until potatoes are well done. Add milk. Use submergable blender or hand masher to cream the potatoes (get it as smooth or as lumpy as you like it). Add rest of ingredients (except toppings), return to boil once.

You can cook it a bit longer to thicken it, but stir frequently or the bottom of the pot will burn!

Serve with rolls, side salad.
