OOPS! I couldn't figure out why this didn't post yesterday until I looked after I got home... somehow I'd saved it as a draft rather than publishing. Sorry 'bout that!Way back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and I was in seventh grade, my home ec teacher - Mrs. Rothermil - had us make this cream of potato soup. I must have enjoyed it, because I've saved it all these years.
Cream of Potato Soup
Serves 6
Ingredients:
Butter, 2 Tbsp
Celery, 1/2 stalk chopped - don't discard the leaves! Chop them as well!
All purpose flour, 2 Tbsp
Milk, 2 C
Onion, 1 tsp chopped
Potato, 2 C, diced, raw
Salt, 1/2 tsp
Water, 1 C
Directions:
Cook potatoes, salt, celery, & onion in water until tender. To make the white sauce, melt butter in saucepan. Remove from stove & add flour & salt; blend thoroughly. Add milk slowly. Return to stove & cook over low heat, stirring constantly, using wooden spoon, until sauce thickens. Add potatoes to white sauce when they're tender. Serve hot.
Serves 6
Thank you, Mrs. Rothermil!

This looks delish! I use celery leaves too. A lot of people don't know that you can actually eat them as well.

Will make this for my dad. He really loves soup especially when he comes home from work.
ReplyDeleteThat looks really good.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's Blogger that's messing with your posts - I have to sometimes publish mine twice so it'll schedule instead of saving!
