Dad's Potato Soup image

I grew up on this. It is a major component of my "comfort food arsenal". It's NOT a heavy, thick potato soup, but it's very satisfying. This is a good recipe to keep on-hand when money gets tight. It will feed a hungry family of 4 for almost nothing.

4 to 5 large potatoes
2 medium onions
1 stick butter
2 12 oz. cans evaporated milk

Steps:

  • 1. First off...do NOT NOT NOT get EVAPORATED milk confused with sweetened condensed milk...yuck.
  • 2. Peel potatoes and onions. Cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Cut onions into 1-inch pieces.
