To do this, pour the water into a cup and mash the cooked potatoes (do this intensively enough so that not a single lump remains), adding water to it, in which it was cooked and a good piece of butter. Puree should not be thick, but on the contrary - soft and lush.

To do this, it is necessary to add the necessary quantity of boiled milk to the cooked potatoes, having drained the water from it, which can be replaced with fat cream and put a good piece of fresh butter there.

Very often at home for their loved ones I cook cheese soup with croutons. To do this, fry chopped onions (1 head), potatoes (4 tubers) and celery (tuber floor) in a saucepan in vegetable oil, after which they should be filled with 1.5 liters of boiling water. When the vegetables are ready they must be crushed with a blender. After that, grate 400 grams of melted cheese preferably on a large grater and add to the soup, do not forget to pepper it and add salt, bring to a boil and at the same time stir constantly. Then in a frying pan it is necessary to fry bread and onion in cream butter, having previously dipped them in flour.
