Easy Potato Soup Recipe

The slow cooker and the bread maker are about to become a permanent fixture on my counter. Today I am sharing an easy potato soup recipe that is hearty and delish (especially with the homemade bread I will be making to go with it… but that is another post).

The best potatoes for soup are “boiling potatoes” since they are lower in starch and a smidge higher in sugar. Or at least that is what I like to use when I make potato soup. A lot of recipes call for russet potatoes and I use those when I don’t have red potatoes, like today.

My store was out of red potatoes and I bought a 10# bag for more than 50% savings. LOL – you know me, I love to save money when buying groceries and I was able to with very little effort by using the price match sheet. With the current sales I save a lot to make this potato soup and below are the ingredients I was able to price match for about an 80% savings:

• Carrots
• Celery
• Green Onions
• Onions
• Potatoes

The chicken broth I pulled from my stockpile, which was free when I bought it for $.50 a can at Walgreens as my “filler” item and then used a Register Reward to pay for my transaction.
