How to Make Aunt Lulabell S Potato Soup

  1. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 cups of diced celery and 1 cup of diced onion. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Stir in 1 packet (1 ounce) of your favorite gravy mix and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  3. Gradually whisk in 4 cups of milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
  5. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  6. Add 3 cups of peeled and cubed potatoes. Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Continue to cook and stir until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and creamy, about 10-15 minutes.
  8. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Garnish with fresh chives or bacon bits before serving (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
