Creamy Potato Soup
Potato soup is one of my favorite dishes. The way my mom makes it is meat-free and very, very simple, and the flavor combination of the cream and the celery is really what makes it taste so good to me. This soup is filling, hearty, and goes wonderfully with Crusty Whole Wheat Cheese Bread.
Ingredients
Method
- Dice the potatoes.
- Dice the carrots and celery.
- Chop the onion.

- In the skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
- Add the flour.
- Whisk together and cook until bubbly.
- Add the milk. Stir with a whisk until smooth. Heat until it boils and thickens.
- Add to the vegetables. Add salt and pepper.
- Simmer for about 20 more minutes.

Notes
I’ve even been known to throw in some celery seed for added flavor. Very high in vitamins A and C, high in potassium.
Good to know that we both like Nancy Drew & Hardy Boys. my first crushes was Scott Baio and Shaun…
