Potato Soup



It's that time of year again, fall is in the air and I've been dying to whip up some heart warming tummy pleasing soups. This one is a no fail recipe that's always 1st on my list when soup sounds like a good thing to fix my family for dinner.

We had some red potatoes in the garden that were smaller than a medium sized yukon gold so you may have to adjust the quantity of your potatoes depending on the size or variety.


INGREDIENTS
3 cups chicken broth
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 tsp. salt
6 potatoes, peeled and diced
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup butter
1 quart half & half milk
salt and pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS
Cook first 6 ingredients together for 10 minutes or until tender. In a glass measuring cup, melt butter in microwave and then stir in flour. Add flour/butter mixture to cooked potatoes. Stir until thick and bubbly. Quickly add half & half. Heat through but do not boil. Serve.
