Grandma's Irish Potato Soup

My Irish Grandma made a very simple potato soup and this recipe is just like the one she made. It is a very simple recipe to follow and the combination of fresh garden vegetables, butter and farm fresh milk, gives us a very comforting soup. Our family loves this simple soup and I often think of my Grandmother in her Irish cottage kitchen as she prepared her potato soup for the family. This is truly one of the soups that will stick to your ribs and keep you warm and cozy.

 Irish Potato Soup and How To Make It

Sauté the onion and celery in butter until tender.

Add some seasons and the potatoes to the sauté.

Continue to sauté the vegetables 

until the potatoes start to brown.

Add the broth to the vegetable mix and stir well.

Add the milk to the soup and 

continue to cook on medium heat.

With a potato masher, mash the potatoes and stir the soup until there are just tiny little bits of vegetables and the soup is smooth and creamy.

The Recipe

I like to garnish the soup with bacon bits, chopped fresh green onion, and shredded cheddar cheese. It is really delicious just plain with a dollop of sour cream.

I always like to serve this soup with our

Irish Soda Bread

Thanks so much for stopping by the cottage today to spend some time with us. We always have room for one more at our table and we are glad it was you today! Hope you have a fantastic day and come back to see us real soon!

Peace and Joy
