I like to serve hot cornbread with my potato soup. My kids always request Mom's Potato soup anytime they get sick. It's a quick cure for whatever they have.
Ingredients
- 6 potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 2 T. butter
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 3 cups milk
- 2 T. flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Saute onions and celery in butter till almost clear. Set aside. Cook potatoes in enough water to cover till done. (Do not overcook, do not drain). With a potato masher, loosly mash up about half the potatoes in the water still in the pan, leaving half the potatoes in chunks. Return to low heat and slowly add the chicken broth (I sometimes substiture boullion which has been dissolved in hot water). Using a wire whisk, stir in the cooked celery and onion mixture. Add the flour to the milk and shake till no lumps then add it very slowly to cooking mixture, whisking till all milk is added. DO NOT try to cook this at a high temp or it will curdle.
