For my friends who would like to try it, here is the potato soup recipe that I made tonight. Cream of Potato Soup 2-3 Tbs butter. 3 or 4 baking potatoes 2-3 Tbs flour 2 qts water (enough to cover Potatoes) 2 cups milk. Chopped celery 1 tsp salt Garlic seasoning Onion seasoning Dice potatoes into bite-size pieces. Cover with water in a large pot and add salt. Bring to a boil, then cook at med-high until potatoes are tender. Lower heat to med-low and add celery (or broccoli). Cook just until tender. Melt butter at med-low heat in a non-stick saucepan. Add flour to make a paste and stir quickly to brown flour lightly. When flour is well blended, add the milk gradually. Stir frequently before each addition of milk as the mixture thickens. Add seasoning as desired. Pour and stir the cream mixture into the potatoes and celery. Enjoy with a side of cornbread. Variations: diced onion can be sautéed in the butter. Broccoli can be substituted for the celery. Grated cheddar cheese can be added for a topping. (Making the cream sauce takes practice. It requires almost continued stirring. If it seems to cook too fast, lower the heat a little. For a thicker soup, I like using three Tbs each of the butter and flour.)
