Due to the popularity of this soup (at our house), I'm posting it here for others to enjoy. I originally got it from my sister's college roommate (thanks, Sandee). I've tweaked it to use chicken broth (she was [is?] vegan), and its still the yummiest soup in the world. So simple, so satisfying, and so colorful with the inclusion of the carrots & celery.

Remove from heat. Pour in evaporated milk. Add salt & pepper to taste. Stir. Serve with bran muffins.
And because my family goes through so many of these muffins whenever we have potato soup, I naturally have to include this recipe as well. These suckers are so tasty. Make sure you double the recipe & throw the extras in the freezer. Excellent straight from the microwave on a cold morning.
