It has been rainy and cold all week here in the desert. That means soup is on the menu. Tuesday evenings are our busiest, so I made a pot of our favorite (and easiest) potato soup for dinner last night.
Potato Soup
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup flour
3 cups milk
3 cups chicken broth
3 or so potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 onion, diced
1 celery stalk, chopped
salt & pepper
Melt the butter in a large pot. Add the flour and cook on low for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add liquids and vegetables and bring to a boil. Boil until the veggies are soft, about 15 minutes, stirring lots so it doesn't burn. Blend to liquify. Add salt and pepper to taste.
We ate our soup with our favorite rolls (the virginia light rolls posted here, but made with mostly whole wheat flour).
The sun is out this morning, but it's still colder than usual. What's the winter weather like at your house today?

The sun is peaking out in Seattle. Wishing for snow. I have a nice big batch of homemade broth bubbling away for soups this week. Potato soup is my daughter's fav!
ReplyDeleteSlightly cool here but feels colder after being spoiled by a warm December. We had potato soup here tonight, too; always a hit so I usually peel 8-10 lbs. - eek!
