Potato, cheese and onion soup
This could also be called, “Surprise! Soup!” or “Oops I think I added too much milk when reheating the left over potatoes…” but neither of them sound quite right.
Though they are both accurate.
I was planning on reheating some left over creamed potatoes to go with the Chicken Divan Pot Pie I made for supper last evening, but I was distracted and added too much milk to the pot that I was reheating the creamed potatoes in and ended up with a creamy potato soup.
A happy accident, really. To make it more of a deliberate meal I sautéed some sliced onions and added them to the pot with a splash of water to make it the right consistency, some seasoning and a generous topping of grated cheese to make a soup version of twice baked potatoes.
It was a really great, filling soup, perfect for a cold evening.
Surprise! It’s soup!
Potato,cheese and onion soup
- Creamed potatoes (any amount depending on how much soup you want)
- Milk (enough to make a thick soup)
- Water (to make soup the consistency you want)
- Sautéed sliced onions (I used two large onions)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Pinch nutmeg
- Parsley flakes (fresh would be better)
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
Heat milk in pot, add creamed potatoes.
Add onions and other ingredients, then season to taste.
Serve with grated cheese and a confident “I made this on purpose” smile!
Oops is right. Oh well, as long as it’s still edible and if you add lots and lots of cheddar cheese.
It was actually really good and it was the same as potato soup except that the potato was already creamed!
Looks like it turned out great despite the extra milk.
It was thanks to the extra milk I decided to make the soup and I am glad I added too much to the potatoes. The soup was really good for supper on a cold evening!
Thank you.
It looks and sounds delicious.
Thanks, Maureen, it really was good and I plan on making it again, on purpose this time!
