Hey Thomas, meant to get back with ya earlier but forgots. This wasn’t homemade, was Idahoan Creamy Potato Hearty Soup. I think one bag makes 4 servings, what I had in the pot was two packs, double water/milk accordingly. I added three big russet potatoes diced into about 1/2” chunks (bring to a boil with just enough water to cover ‘em in a pot, let ‘em boil about 3 or 4 min’s while stirring, then down to medium heat w/lid on and simmer for about 10-15 mins…gets the texture of the russet potatoes perfect (not too crunchy and not mushy either). Also fried half a pack of bacon, took kitchen shears and cut the bacon up into little pieces to add. Make the soup according to the instructions, I added a little parsley and chives as well, then at the end add the potato’s and bacon, put it all on low heat for a little bit and eat up. Turns out damn good.
I’ve got a couple of damn good homemade recipes but I’d have to dig ‘em out. I know one is Paula Dean’s potato soup, I believe the other is a recipe from allrecipes.com.
Idahoan brand also makes a Idahoan Steakhouse potato soup and Loaded potato soup that’s pretty sporty as well. I doctor up the Steakhouse version and Loaded version the same.
