6Tbls Blue Bonnet light margerine
2/3C Flour
5 Medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
4C 1% Milk
2T Corn Starch (if needed)
1.5oz Colby/Jack cheese

Peel and cut potates into cubes (smaller than1 inch.) Cover with water, and boil until tender.
WHILE POTATOES ARE COOKING:
In seperate saucepan, melt margerine then add flour and whisk together. Slowly add 2C of milk, whisking constantly. Stir until warmed through and slightly thickened. (if soup is not starting to thicken, add up to 2Tbls corn starch and whisk briskly.) Add remaining milk and stir occasionally until heated through. Once the base is hot, add cheese and whisk until it's melted.
Drain potatoes, and mash about 1/2-3/4 cup. Carefully add to base and stir to combine.
Makes approximately 6 servings. My ladle measures 2/3C, and I serve two ladlefulls into each bowl.

Wonderfull basic potato soup recipe. We didn't have sour cream,which is needed in most other recipes. Impressed my husband (thats hard to do)! Well written recipe, all the way down to ladle size. We added 3 slices of bacon for added flavor. Excellent!!! - 10/23/08

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I've made double batch and brought it to work before and people practically lined up. I've also added bacon before, and my brother-in-law likes some chives too (think baked potato.)
