A creamy vegetable soup. Our family once had this soup in a restaurant along the Ohio Turnpike, so we call it Turnpike Soup. Through the years we've tried to duplicate it. You can vary the vegetables and amounts very easily. (Don't recommend using beets).
Ingredients:
6 carrots, sliced
6 potatoes, sliced
6 celery ribs, chopped
1 onion, sliced
salt
other vegetables (optional)
white sauce
Directions:
1. Put vegetables in pot and cover barely with water, add salt and cook until tender.
2. Puree vegetables with their liquid in blender.
3. Meanwhile, make white sauce (thin to medium depending on preference, can also use plain milk).
4. Mix roughly equal parts vegetable and white sauce.
5. Season with salt and pepper.
