A simple baked potato soup recipe, perfect for a cold night.

Photo Updated January 2013

It looks like it’s potato week here on Taste and Tell – this is my second potato dish this week!

I usually blog about just about everything I make. But lately – I blame it on the pregnancy – I’ve been a bit lazy. Especially over the holidays. Our meals were quite simple and nothing to really write about – just needing to get something on the table. This potato soup was one dish that I made – having no intentions to blog about it. It’s just a simple potato soup, after all. But after one bite of it, I knew I needed to blog about it. This was delicious!! And it was incredibly easy, fast and comforting.

I love it when the most unexpected dishes end up being the best ones!!

Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until tender. Stir in the flour. Gradually whisk in the broth and the evaporated milk.
Scoop the potato pulp from one of the cooked potatoes; mash. Add the pulp to the broth mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, just until mixture comes to a boil.
