Lately, Mom's been doing quite a bit of my cooking thanks to being sick, dizzy, and nauseated. Other than canned chicken noodle, grilled cheese, and other "easy on the tummy" foods, potato soup is one of those things I'm enjoying because it's not spicy. This microwave recipe is relatively fast and pretty good. It's very basic and is a great "starter" recipe to be altered in any way.

Ingredients

2 serv.

potatoes↗2 cups
cubes peeled and raw
finely chopped onion1⁄2 cup
(we sometimes use the dehydrated minced onion)
water↗1 cup
half-and-half↗1 1⁄2 cups
butter↗1 tablespoon
salt↗1⁄2 teaspoon
pepper↗1⁄8 teaspoon
favorite cheese4 slices
thin slices (optional)
bacon (to garnish) or chives (to garnish)↗

Step-by-step instructions

1
Microwave potatoes, onion and water on high 8 to 10 minutes until potatoes are tender.
2
Cover and let rest 5 minutes. Mash potatoes with a fork into large pieces. This does help thicken the soup.
3
Add remaining ingredients except cheese and cook on high 5 to 8 minutes to serving temperature.
4
Garnish with cheese and bacon or chives.
