Need a good potato soup recipe

I have one, put it's not exactly a "soup".

Cook down some onions and garlic.
Slice some sausage and throw in once cooked down.
Peel and slice potatoes to desired thickness and add to pot.

Add milk and a can or 2 of cream of mushroom soup.
Cook on low until tender.
Season however you want.

Simple but hits the spot.

The best potato soup I have ever eaten is as follows

1 qt chicken broth
4-5 medium-large potatoes peeled and chopped
1/2tsp seasoning salt
1/4tsp white pepper
1/4tsp cayenne
1/2 brick of philadelphia cream cheese(absolutely nothing other than Philadelphia brand)
1 lb Tasso sliced thin

Boil the potatoes in the chicken broth until soft. Set aside potatoes. Break the cream cheese into small pieces and boil them in the broth. You need to keep a high rolling boil for a few minutes to make the cheese fully incorporate into the broth. Place most of the potatoes back into the broth with the spices and Tasso. Smash leftover potatoes and put them into broth. Let the whole thing simmer for an hour or so.

2 medium potatoes peeled and diced your size dice

1/2 stalk celery
1/2 medium onion
1 Tablespoon butter for celery and onions

Béchamel
2 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons flour

Liquid for soup from potatoes or milk or cream or half and half

Salt and black pepper

Start with celery and onions chopped and sautéed in butter until tender - set aside.

Peel and dice red potatoes. Boil in salted water until tender, Reserve most of the liquid to add back as needed at end.

Make a béchamel sauce (50/50 Butter and AP flour). cook for a couple of minutes DO NOT BROWN FLOUR.

Add celery and onions to hot béchamel and them add this to cooked potatoes and water in sauce pan.

Adjust thickness of soup as desired with water from cooking the potatoes, or milk or half&half or cream. Cook on low heat for maybe 10 minutes until sauce thickens and is adjusted with liquid to your desired thickness.

Needs to cook for 10 minutes to fully thicken. Adjust thickness to your desire. Taste and season with salt and black pepper.

This is the basic recipe. Customize as desired (Ham, sausage, shrimp, crab, crawfish)

we make a real simple one, Half arse peal 5/6 large tots. Dice as needed, the smaller the faster they boil. Cover in just enough water and salt to taste. After soft mash a bit if you have big pieces. Added 1/2 - 1 stick butter depending on size of pot. Add a cup or so of whole milk. More milk if you like it thinner. Stir and taste. We add chives and shredded cheese to the bowl. Simple, cheap, fattening and good!

My mom makes the best, need to get her recipe. She puts green Chiles in hers with bacon and ham. Perfect for the deer camp
