Potato Soup
Small chopped onion
1 celery stalk
1 T soft butter
Saute the three ingredients in a medium saucepan for a couple of minutes. Add one chopped medium potato and water to cover potatoes. Bring to a boil, turn heat down and simmer on stove for approx 20 minutes or until tender. Gently mash. Add 2 cups milk ( I use 2%), 2 T cornstarch mixed with a little milk to blend, salt and pepper to taste. I also put in 2 slices of 2% American cheese if I have it on hand. Simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring often. I put on low heat after it thickens.
Ladle into bowls and add cheddar cheese and bacon bits. Oh my, it is good for the soul! and my cold!
I usually have all of these ingredients on hand and this is so quick and simple. I also add a few carrots with the celery and onion if I have it! Yum!
