"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Directions:
Directions:
Put sliced potatoes and onion into larger saucepan, just cover with water. Add salt to flavor potatoes, about 1 tsp. Bring to boil and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer potatoes 10-15 minutes until potatoes are fork tender. Drain most of water, leaving about a cup behind. Add milk to saucepan with potatoes and last of the water. Add 4 T butter and heat through, do not boil. Salt and pepper to taste. You can mash the potatoes for a thicker soup consistency, or add a cornstarch or flour slurry. We like this just as a thinner soup. Add bacon or ham for a meatier soup or add in some shredded cheese. Very versatile, and easy.
