Easy 20 Minute Potato Soup

---

I love soup, and potato is definitely way up there on my list of favorites. nothing really beats my homemade soups, but this is a very tasty and great alternative when you are short on time and want something hot, filling and comforting. i serve this with rolls, or sometimes with turkey club sandwiches.
