Cream of potato soup

 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!

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

  5. That looks really good.

    And it's Blogger that's messing with your posts - I have to sometimes publish mine twice so it'll schedule instead of saving!

    And I'm your newest follower. :)
