Right weather for soup
The Christmas decorations are put away and the house back to normal. I love to get the decorations out before the holidays, but it’s always nice to put them away too! It looks like our winter is really here. I haven’t stuck so much as my nose out the door today and even then I need to have my “cuddle duds” on! This is the perfect weather to warm up with soup. Some friends and I were lunch guests at the home of Faye Miller last week. She served this delicious potato soup and it hit the spot!
Potato Soup:
1 lb carrots, diced
1 stalk celery with leaves, diced
1/3 cup onion, diced
4 cups water
1 1/4 tsp salt
1 1/4 tsp pepper
Cook the above ingredients until tender.
Then add:
2 additional cups water
4 lbs potatoes
Cook until potatoes are fork tender.
Stir In:
1 can cream of celery soup
1 cup milk or half and half
4 Tbsp butter
1/2-1 lb ham, diced
Cook until heated through. You can add some dried parsley if you want.
Stay warm!
