Old Fashioned Potato Soup | Faye Thompson | @southerncooking

Cut up 6 medium potatoes into chunks.

Place the potatoes in a pot and cook on medium heat.

Boil the potatoes for about 15 minutes, being careful not to let them get too mushy.

In another pan, add 4 sticks of softened butter.

Add 1/2 medium onion, 1 teaspoon celery, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt to the butter and stir together.

Drain the cooked potatoes in the sink.

Return the drained potatoes to the pot.

Mix the butter and onion mixture into the potatoes.

Add 1 quart of milk to the potato mixture.

Serve the soup in a bowl, optionally topping with a slice of boiled egg.
