Creamy Potato Soup

I love potato soup, especially on a chilly night! I knew I needed to make Something light yet filling for supper so Hubby said he thought it would be a good night for soup...so this is what I came up with! If you are so inclined, here's the recipe:
Enough soup for Two!

You'll need:
1 large pot with cover
2 nice size Idaho potatoes
enough water to cover potatoes

Dice potatoes, throw in pot and then fill with water only covering the potatoes. Bring to boil then cut heat back to medium. Cook till tender.

Now you'll need:
1 pint half & half cream
1 large yellow sweet onion, diced
Saute the onion in several tablespoons oil
Stir in a tablespoon of butter
Continue stiring (Don't walk away!!!) until they are browned.

Now:
If the potatoes are tender, get your masher out and mash them right in the water! It'll end up being a thick mush!Hahaa...Well, it will!
Pour in the Onions and cream...stir.
Salt and pepper to taste.

You can add ANYTHING else you want...Ham, chicken, corn, bacon...Whatever you'd like!
That's it! Took about 30 minutes....Enjoy!
