In a 2 qt saucepan, add 3 or 4 cups of bite size peeled Russet potatoes. (Not too small.) Cover with tap water, add some salt and bring to a medium boil, cooking potatoes until tender. Do not overcook or the potatoes will mush. Check it about 7-10 min. depending on size of potato chunks. After potatoes are cooked tender, drain off all but about a couple inches of the water. Add 1/2 to 3/4 stick of butter or margarine. Finish by adding 2% or whole milk enough to cover the cooked potatoes. Simmer enough to heat thoroughly, melting butter, and add additional salt and pepper to taste. We love this recipe with several saltine crackers crumbled in our potato soup. For a variation, you can sprinkle with some shredded cheese. This will not be a thick potato soup, but it is delicious.

White Chicken Chili Soup. Use pre packaged (McCormick's) White Chicken Chili seasoning. Saute some chicken and shred in chunky bits, add a couple of tins of navy beans, add some low sodium chicken broth or water, add seasoning package (s). I also add some bags of chunky frozen veggies (from the grocery frozen food department). Simmer for an hour or so - this soup is great after a couple of days in the 'fridge also.
