All Day I Dream About Soup0
Since the weather has cooled down quite a bit, I thought some potato soup was in order. My Grandmother always made this for us as soon as it started to get chilly out. I used to “help” her by eating little pieces of potato and getting in her way. This was actually one of the first recipes she taught me how to cook. While the recipe is based on my Grandma’s, I have also made it my own by tweaking a few things.
Grammy’s Potato Soup
3-4 Russet potatoes
1 white onion
3-4 celery stocks
One quart organic milk
1 tablespoon garlic
2-3 tablespoon flour
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Saute garlic and onions until translucent. Add celery and potatoes, and cook until the potatoes are soft. Add milk and bring to a simmer. Mix flour with a few tablespoons of warm water in a mug. Stir flour mixture into the soup. Garnish with green onions, cheddar cheese, and facon.
My Grandma put bacon in her soup, but once I became veg she made a separate pot for me, and she made sure she used separate spoons when she stirred. We had some facon hanging out in the freezer, so I decided to try it out as a garnish on top. It was quite tasty. The green onions are also my addition. This recipe is so simple and cheap to make, and so good! It’s definitely comfort in a bowl.
