I have been making this soup since I was 12, it's one of my families favorites. One of my favorite things about this soup is how easy & simple it is, as long as I have a bag of potatoes and some kind of milk I can make this soup. Now if I were making this just for me I would add celery, the kids (& Hubby) out-voted me on this one. Darn it!!
McFarland's Potato Soup
Ingredients;
1- 5lb bag of Potatoes, peeled and cubed
Water
1c. cubed Ham
1c. Corn
1c. Cream
1/2c. Butter
2T. Parsley
1c. shredded Cheese
2T. Alpine Spice/ or Salt & Pepper blend
Place your potatoes,ham & corn in a large pot. Add enough water to cover those ingredients. Bring to a boil, turn heat down, stir in the parsley, simmer until the potatoes are tender about 20-30 min.
Remove from heat add butter, cheese and cream- you can substitute marg, for the butter, and reg. milk, half 'n half or canned milk for the cream.
Now I get to use one of my absolute favorite kitchen gadgets- my immersion blender- here it is- The Star *******

Thank you for the link to it, I love making soup :)
I love potato soup. Sorry the focaccia wasn't better. It still looks good!
I don't have an immersion blender, but I'm always thinking about getting one. The last time I pureed hot soup I used my food processor. What a mess! Your soup looks excellent!
Monica- I have a recipe I like alot, I was just to lazy to dig it up and I like to try new ones, that'll teach me right :)
Willoughby- I used to run mine through the blender in batches, what a pain, I wanted an immersion blender forever. I was helping a fiend organize her yard sale & she had one her mom gave her, she didn't even know what it was! So I bought it for $5. I wish I had just gotten one sooner, it is amazing. A must have kitchen gadget :)
I love potato soup--especially easy to make potato soup. It looks delicious--thanks for sending it to Souper Sunday this week!
Aloha,

BTW--My immersion blender is my favorite kitchen tool. I could not get along without it!
