Greetings,
Living here in Idaho, you would think we would have tried potato soup. 
Thank you for the recipe.  Hope it turns out better than the tomato soup I tried to make a few years ago...not going to put Campbell's out of business.

I prefer mine cooked without any type of meat & cheese, just good old potatoes, celery and carrots.  And if it needs to be thicker I use a bit of instant potatoes.

Old-Fashioned Potato Soup

Ingredients
1/4 cup butter
1 large onion, chopped
6 potatoes, peeled and diced
2 carrots, diced
3 cups water
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon powder
ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
While the onions are cooking, place the diced potatoes, carrots, water and chicken soup base (or vegetable base) in another pot and bring to a boil. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Do not overcook. Season with ground black pepper to taste.

Sounds good dodger.  That's a lot of bouillon but you're not adding any more salt....
