I haven't made potato soup in a while. We've had a very mild winter here in South Mississippi, and I just haven't felt like eating soup...until this past weekend when we actually had temps in the 20's!! I had a little challenge this time with my potato soup thanks to my 12 year old. You see, he ate potato soup at his friend's house about two weeks ago, and he was certain that the other mom's soup was better than mine! I set out to prove him wrong. After he took the first bite, he said, "Hmm...I still think hers is a little better!" Then, he proceeded to eat THREE full bowls of soup!! Even though he wouldn't admit it, I think I won hands down!
Ingredients:
4 cups potatoes, cubed
4 cups water
2 cups milk
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup margarine
2 large onions, chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1/2 cup carrots, sliced
3 cups cheddar cheese
green onion, chopped (optional)
crumbled bacon (optional)
salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
1. In large pot, boil potatoes in 4 cups water. Do not drain.
2. While potatoes are boiling, combine milk, flour, and margarine over medium heat. Stir regularly until heated through.
3. Add milk mixture to boiled potatoes and water. Add onions, celery, and carrots. Return to boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10-15 minutes.
4. Add cheese and stir until thoroughly melted. Salt and Pepper, to taste. Garnish with crumbled bacon and green onions. Serve hot.
