potato soup

Recipe :  Lori's Spicy Potato Soup

1/3 cup celery diced

1/3 cup carrots diced

1/4 cup onions diced

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons flour

2 tablespoons minced parsley

1/2-1teaspoons salt

1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayene pepper

1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt

pepper to taste

6 medium to large potatoes.

1 quart milk

2-3 chicken bullion cubes

Cooking instructions:

Put the celery, carrots and oninons in the bottom of a big pot with the butter and cook over low- medium heat. (around 5 minutes) Add the flour and cook for a minute or two longer.

Cut up 6 potatoes. I dice them and then cook them in water until tender. Put aside.

Add 1 quart of milk to the pot with the veggies. Add 2-3 chicken bullion cubes to the soup pot. Add all the spices.

Cook veggies, milk, and spices over a medium heat until bubbly. Simmer 20 minutes. ** Whole milk or 2 percent milk works best.

Drain the potatoes add half of diced potatoes to the soup pot.

Mash the other half of the potatoes with a potato masher and add to the soup pot.

Simmer 20 -25 minutes and serve.

You can add chives, bacon bits , or shredded cheese. I add extra Ccayene as my family likes it spicy. I also let it simmer on low in a cock pot all day. After you add diced and mashed potatoes throw in cock pot. Yummy!!
