potato soup

This is just a basic creamy potato soup i put together.

Cut up your potatoes into small chunks, and cut up your carrots and celery into even smaller chunks. Then boil those in some veggie broth until tender. I usually like to add in some extra flavors here, maybe some basil or oregano. Thyme, sage, whatever is sounding good.

Meanwhile brown some onions and garlic in butter or olive oil.

Mix the onions and garlic in with your the boiling soup, add seasonings and some milk/soy milk. If you want it thicker, mix some flour or cornstarch in a quarter cup of hot water, then mix that into the boiling soup, it'll thicken on up. While you're at it, throw in some more seasonings, for good measure, no one likes bland potatoes.

I topped mine with some shredded cheddar cheese and a little parsley, just to make it look fancy schmancy.
