Best Nanas Potato Soup Recipes

NANA CAROL'S OLD FASHIONED POTATO SOUP RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• 1. Boil potatoes and celery with water twice as high in the pot. Separately, dice and cook bacon. 2. Saute onions in bacon grease and strain. Add bacon and onions to pot and simmer. 3. Mix eggs and salt. Slowly add flour to egg mix while stirring. You want to add until you get thickness of cookie dough. These will make dumplings that will also thicken the soup. My family varies on size, here are a few techniques; 1) roll dough into a 1/2" rope and cut half inch pucks, 2) roll into balls, 3) pull or cut into irregular pieces. This could be fun job for the kids. At any rate, toss them in to bowling pot gradually so they don't clump together. 4. Add milk and and simmer to thicken, about 1/2 hour.

NANA'S HAMBURGER POTATO HOT DISH

Steps:

• Brown hamburger, chopped onion and pepper together in a skillet.
• Wash and slice the potatoes with the skins left on.
• Stir together all the soups & corn in a large casserole pan.
• Add browned hamburger and potatoes to the soup mixture and stir well.
• Bake at 375 degree oven for approximately 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
• Stir a couple times during baking.
• I usually have it covered the 1st hour, then leave it uncovered the remaining time.
• This is one of those recipes that I never had a recipe to follow, I just knew the ingredients from my mom making it when I was a child. The hamburger amount could vary from 1 to 2 lbs & the potatoes could be anywhere from 4-8 depending how much you want to make. Also could add an extra can of cream corn if making a larger amount of hamburger & potatoes.
• I have also made it in my crock pot; starting out the 1st hour in the oven, then finishing it off in the crockpot on low for 3-4 hours because I brought it to work for a potluck.
