Suzanne's Fabulous Potato Soup

This is my all-time favorite recipe for Potato Soup. It came from a church cookbook and was originated by the father of a friend.

Do note that you could change this into a vegetarian or vegan recipe, simply by changing a few ingredients: vegetable broth instead of chicken, soy milk instead of cow's milk, etc. The point is to make something yummy and filling that you will actually eat, so don't be afraid to experiment! :)

Potato Soup

Boil:

3 medium potatoes, cubed
2 small carrots, sliced thin
1 small onion, chopped fine
