I LOVE this soup!
Mel's Potato Soup
What's In It:
1 medium onion, diced
2 celery ribs, diced
2 T butter
2 c broth
3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 1/2 t sugar
1 t salt
1/2 t garlic powder
1/2 t dried rosemary
1/2 t dried thyme
1/2 t pepper
1/3 c flour
2 1/2 c milk
1 c cubed ham or bacon (optional)
What To Do With It:
Saute onion and celery in butter. Add broth, potatoes, sugar, and seasonings. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Combine flour with 1/2 c milk until smooth in consistency - I shake mine in a small plastic container. Add flour/milk mixture to soup. Return to a boil and cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add remaining milk and meat if using, heat through.
I usually serve this with a nice artisan bread and a salad. I've also eaten it with a little shredded cheddar on top - it's not required, but it sure is pretty. ;)
