Velvetty, creamy potato deliciousness! This soup was one of the Scandinavian dishes we prepared on Sunday in celebration of our Swedish friend Matt's birthday. Looking at the ingredients I didn't expect to like this soup as much as I did, but it had a depth that my potato soup recipe seems to lack and was so easy to make. Whats not to love? PLUS I know I cant be the only one who hates left over mashed potatoes.
Buttered Potato Soup
modified from Scandinavian Cooking by Beatrice Okakangas
2 cups mashed potatoes
4 cups Milk
2 cups half and half
salt and pepper to taste
dash of ground allspice
In a medium saucepan beat potatoes and milk with a whisk till smooth. Stir in half and half and let come to barely a boil. Add salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle with a dash of allspice. Garnish each serving with parsley and 1/2 teaspoon of butter.
We added a little bacon and some cheese to the leftovers and it was even better if that is possible!

I have never made potato soup with mashed potatoes. It sounds scrumptious. Would you like to link this Let's Do Brunch. It is a perfect recipe for a brunch.

Isn't this a nice recipe? Your photo is terrific. We were,indeed, at the King Winery. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
That dash of allspice is a nice addition. It's like putting cayenne in cookies, I bet it gave it a wonderful undertone that had people guessing. I love soups of all sorts, but especially easy ones like this.
