Instructions:

Preparation: Begin by dicing the potatoes and onions into small, uniform pieces. This ensures even cooking and enhances the texture of the soup.
Cooking the Base: In a large soup pot, place the diced potatoes and onions, then cover them with water.
Adding Flavor: Add the butter to the pot. The butter enriches the soup with a creamy texture and adds a hint of richness to every bite.
Boiling the Potatoes: Bring the pot to a gentle boil over medium heat. Allow the potatoes to cook until they are tender but still firm to the bite. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture in your soup.
Incorporating Tomatoes: Once the potatoes are cooked to perfection, add the tomatoes and tomato juice to the pot. This imparts a vibrant color and robust flavor to the soup base.
Simmering: Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer gently for about 15 minutes. This allows all the flavors to meld together, creating a harmonious blend that tantalizes the taste buds.
Final Touch: Just before serving, stir in the milk to add creaminess to the soup. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
Serving: Ladle the piping hot soup into bowls and serve it alongside freshly baked cornbread. The combination of the warm soup and the comforting aroma of cornbread is sure to evoke feelings of nostalgia and contentment.
