Grandma's Potato Soup image

This recipe has been in my family for at least 70 years.That is how old my mom is and her mom is the one who made this.It is good if you have an upset stomach.It is very simple and very soothing.I hope you will give it a try.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4-5 potatoes, medium-peeled and cubed
1-2 onions, vidalia, peeled and sliced(cut in half,then slice like half moons)
2 1/2 Tbsp flour
evaporated milk
butter or margarine

Steps:

  • 1. Put potatoes and onions in a pot.Cover with cold water.Cook on medium high heat till boiling.Boil until fork tender.

  • 3. When potatoes are done pour the milk/flour mixture in while potatoes and onions are boiling.I pour it thru a strainer to keep from having lumps.
