I found this while trying to remember how Mom use to make it for us. I was thinking of trying it with instant potatoes , butter beads , dehydrated onions and milk as something easy to whip up for camping.
The nice thing is that anything can be added to it , ham , bacon , sausage , just use your imagination but it is pretty good just as it is.

INGREDIENTS
* 1 tablespoon butter ( to saute' the onions in)
* 1 medium onion, finely chopped
* 6 large potatoes, peeled and diced
* Water
* 2 to 3 cups milk
* 2 tablespoons butter
* Salt and pepper to taste
Sauté the onions in the 1 tablespoon butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until softened. Add potatoes and just enough water to cook, about 1 cup. Season lightly with salt. Bring to a boil; cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
Add the milk, remaining butter, salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook over medium heat until hot; do not boil. With a potato masher, mash some of the potatoes right in the pot to slightly thicken the soup.
