Potato Soup

This is my second winter in USA and this year winter is so much better than previous year. While I think what to cook for dinner the only thing which occurred to me was something which keeps us warm and then I decide for potato soup, which will warm us on a cold winter night.

Ingredients

1-1/4 potatoes, peeled and quartered

3/8 small carrot, finely chopped

1/8 stalk celery, finely chopped

3/8 small onion, minced

1/2 cup water/ vegetable broth

salt to taste

3/4 cup and 1 tablespoon milk

1 tablespoon butter, melted

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/3 cup shredded swiss cheese

Directions:

In a large saucepan, bring potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, vegetable broth/ water and salt to boil. Reduce heat cover and simmer until all veggies are tender. Once cool pour this in a mixie and make  it into a nice smooth. I left some potato pieces intentional to chew it while sipping it. Also, I used water instead of vegetable broth. 

Stir in milk to the mixture. 

In a small mixing bowl, blend butter, flour, parsley and pepper; stir into mixture. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly.

Remove from heat, add cheese and stir until melted. 

Garnish with cheese and croutons. Serve hot.
