A couple of questions:

We're supposed to go camping tomorrow, so I'm not interested
in a big deal dinner tonight -- going for cream of potato soup
and bologna sammiches instead:

Cream of Potato Soup

5 C. potato, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, chopped
3 T. butter or margarine
1 C. half & half
1 C. whole milk
2∏ tsp. salt

2 1/2?

Quoted message said:

1 T. chopped parsley

Put potatoes and onions in large kettle or dutch oven and barely
cover with cold water. Add salt, cover tightly and heat to boiling;
reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Mash lightly, leaving larger chunks as desired. Add butter and half
& half.

And milk?

serene, thinking it would be yummy today

DH loves this stuff...

Jani, potato soup is wonderful! I always add 3-4 strips of crisp, crumbled
bacon to mine. It just gives it an extra "something" 🙂

Have fun on your camping trip!

Yes, sorry about that -- I use a text program to store my recipes and
sometimes the symbols don't translate.

Yeah, guess I should update my directions. Again, sorry about that. :-)

I'm with you, Jill -- I was sorely tempted to make this into chowder
using clams and bacon, but Buddy (DS) vetoed the idea. Next time I'm
not giving him a choice. ;-)

Thank you! We're leaving tonight and will return on Saturday. If
we cook anything interesting, I'll post about it when we get back.
Happy Weekend, everyone...
