Potato Chowder

This is my favorite potato soup. Perfect for colder weather. Also a perfect recipe for those times that I don't want to eat what I had planned on making. I always have these ingredients in my fridge and cupboard. Also a great way to use up last nights left over veggies.

Ingredients:

Olive oil

1 onion diced

about 4 lbs of potatoes peeled and cubed

salt and pepper to taste

whole milk

1-2 cups grated cheese

chopped cooked veggies (any kind you like) or you can boil them with the potatoes

Directions:

-saute onion in oil until soft

-add salt, pepper and the potatoes, and veggies if you are using raw

-add enough water to just cover potatoes and lightly boil just until potatoes are cooked (don't over boil)

-Pour off at least half of the water from pot

-add cheese and veggies (if not already in the pot)

-add milk to desired consistency
