Ingredients
Scale
- 8 cups diced potatoes (I often use frozen diced hashbrowns to make it even easier!)
- 3 cans condensed cream soup (my favorite combo is cream of bacon, cream of onion, and cream of celery)
- 3 cups evaporated milk
- Seasonings to taste (I typically use salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a bit of thyme)
Optional Toppings
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Chopped green onions
- Sour cream
Instructions
- I start by placing my potatoes in a large pot and adding 2 cups of water. Then I season them to taste and boil until they’re tender, which usually takes about 10-15 minutes. The important part: do NOT drain the water!
- While the potatoes are cooking, I combine my canned soups and evaporated milk in a large bowl, stirring them together until smooth.
- Once my potatoes are tender, I pour in the soup and milk mixture, stirring to combine everything nicely.
- Then I set the pot over medium heat and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes to heat through and let all those lovely flavors meld together.
- I always do a final seasoning check before serving, then ladle the 4 Ingredient Potato Soup into bowls and top with my favorite toppings!
Notes
- I’ve found that using different combinations of cream soups can completely change the flavor profile of this 4 Ingredient Potato Soup – don’t be afraid to experiment!
- If you like a thicker soup, you can mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot.
- Adding a bay leaf during cooking gives an amazing depth of flavor.
- For extra richness, I sometimes stir in a tablespoon of butter just before serving.
- The 4 Ingredient Potato Soup is good immediately, but I think it’s even better the next day when the flavors have had time to develop.
