Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
 

  • 6 peeled, chopped large potatoes
  • 1½ chopped medium-size yellow onions
  • 1 cup (250ml) heavy cream (double cream)

Method
 

  1. Put the potatoes in a pot with the onions and any optional add-ins like celery or ham.
  2. Add enough water to almost (but not quite) cover everything.
  3. Bring the soup to a boil.
  4. Turn down the heat, cover and simmer for 25 minutes (set a timer because you don't want to forget it like last time I made this recipe!)
  5. Use a potato masher to break up some of the potatoes.
  6. Add the cream, using less or more perhaps, depending how thick you want your soup.
  7. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Notes

Optional Ingredients

  • Salt and black pepper (add at the end, to taste)
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped celery (add at the start)
