Potato soup is one of my all time favorites.. specially when the october winds start blowin and the chill is in the air..
I peel and cube 4 or 5 potato's
1/2 cup chopped onion
grate a carrot or two
dice a couple of ribs of celery
place in pan and just barely cover with water, cook until vegies are tender, add a can or two of canned milk, not the sweetened kind...just regular ole evaporated milk, it makes it a bit creamier then regular milk,
add 1 or 2 Tbls. of butter
then I add slightly cooked bacon, but a cup or so of ham would be really good as well...
salt and pepper to taste
at this point the cowder will be fairly thin, here is a really neat trick I learned... Instead of using flour to thicken it... used instant mashed potatoes...it doesnt take much but it sure makes it good...just enough to thicken it to the consistancy you want...
ohh man I am ready for fall to get there :haha: :haha:
