I love potato soup, and this is the recipe I've come up with after trying several recipes and combining them. It's easy to put in the crock pot and forget about it, or, if you're in a hurry, it can be made in about twenty five minutes on the stove top. Ingredients:
5 -6 large potatoes, cubed |
1 large onion, diced |
2 tablespoons margarine |
3 chicken bouillon cubes (i use bouillon paste when possible, about 2-3 tbsp) |
3 tablespoons parsley |
2 tablespoons cilantro |
3 cups water |
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk |
1/4 cup flour |
shredded cheese (to garnish) (optional) or french-fried onions (to garnish) (optional) or crouton (to garnish) (optional) |
Directions:
1. Place everything but the milk and flour in the crock pot and cook on low all day.
2. 30 minutes to one hour before serving, stir together the flour and evaporated milk until smooth, then add to soup.
3. After the soup starts to thicken slightly, it is ready to serve.
4. To make on stove top: boil potato and onion until tender, then simmer the rest of the ingredients on medium heat until thickened.
5. I usually garnish bowls with shredded cheddar cheese at the table.
