It’s easy to make and inexpensive, too.
Creamy Potato Soup Makes about 3 servings
2 tablespoons butter
½ onion, minced
1 celery stalk, minced
3 cups chicken broth+
1 teaspoon freeze-dried chives
3 to 4 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
½ teaspoon Kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
White Sauce:
3 tablespoons
butter
3 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
1½ cups milk
½ teaspoon salt
Pinch black pepper
Option Toppers: grated Cheddar cheese, chopped fresh parsley
1. Melt
butter over medium low to medium heat in a soup pot; add onions and celery and
sauté.
2. Add
3 cups broth, chives, and cubed potatoes, cover and simmer until vegetables are
tender.
3. Meanwhile,
in another saucepan prepare the white sauce. Melt butter and then stir in
flour, salt and pepper; cook several minutes to develop flavor. Continue to
desired thickness — I prefer a medium thick sauce versus a really thick one.
4. Whisk
white sauce into cooked potatoes. If soup is too thick, add additional stock.
5. Top
with grated Cheddar cheese and parsley if desired.
