Potato Soup:

‘5 in a fix’ / Joanie Fuson, 3-4-2009

Simple and easy, but I felt it needed a little punch.  next time I think I will add the onions a little later and separate some of the vegetable mix before pureeing.  Maybe use bacon instead of ham?

Ingredients:
  1. 4 large potatoes peeled and diced.
  2. 1 medium white onions diced
  3. 2 stalks celery finely diced.
  4. 2 carrots finely diced.
  5. 16 ounce chicken stock.
  6. 1 cup water.
  7. 2 cups milk.
  8. 1 cup diced ham.
  9. 1 teaspoon dill weed.
Instructions:
  1. Place all vegetables, chicken stock, and water in a deep sauce pan.
  2. Simmer until the potatoes are soft, about 30 minutes.
  3. Puree in a blender or food processor; add milk, ham and dill weed.
  4. Reheat on low, do not boil.
  5. Add more milk if too thick.

    Celery should never be put into a soup, it should only be eaten raw.

    The soup was good. I added some seasoned salt and fresh ground pepper in it. Love the ham and potato - bigger pieces would have been good too.

    Cheese lovers might want to add some cheese to it.

    I liked it!
