Creamy Onion-and-Potato Soup

A go-to soup recipe. It's something I can make with what's already in my pantry/fridge. I add one potato and chopped carrots to the recipe (add the carrots when you add the potato). Makes it a meatier soup.

I liked this pretty well, although it needed a lot more salt and pepper, and I also added some fresh thyme. But my boyfriend thought it was way too oniony. So only 3 stars.

Love this soup! I've been making this soup since I found it in my 1997 copy of Southern Living. Best potato soup ever!! Occasionally, I've made it without green onions [just with white/yellow onion] and didn't notice any difference in taste. So easy to make. Reheated leftovers taste just as good or even better.

Amazingly delicious soup, considering how quick and easy... I loved the fact that I was able to make it on the spur of the moment with ingredients on hand. Used soy milk instead of dairy, with very good results. I will make this one and again!

I made this on a rainy cold day for my husband who is extremely picky and HE LOVED IT! I used a large wooden fork to slightly mash the potatoes and it made it a little creamy. I also love used 2 cloves of garlic. I have made it several times and everyone who has tried it loved it and said it was the best potato soup that they had tried.
