| Very
Tasty Potato Soup - from Val Ford |
Ingredients
5 or 6 medium Russet Potatoes
One large onion
2 tbsps butter or margarine
One egg
Water
1 cup enriched white flour,
2 pints skimmed milk or half and half milk and water
Salt and pepper to taste |
|
Method
- Peel
and dice Russet potatoes and onion.
-
Break egg into a small bowl, add ½ shell of cold water and
whisk to blend, not go frothy.
- Place
potatoes and onions in a large pot. With a thick bottom.
Add about 2 tablespoons or so of butter or margarine.
- Cover
ingredients with water 1 inch above level of ingredients.
- Cook
until the potatoes are done (don't allow them to break up).
- While
the potatoes are cooking, put about 1 cup of enriched white
flour in the egg mixture, and stir up so that the mixture
is in small to midsize dumplings.
- Drop
these egg dumplings into the cooking potatoes. The
dumplings will take about 20 minutes to cook, depending
on their size.
- When
all ingredients are cooked, do NOT drain off the water.
- Add
salt and pepper to taste, and then add about 1 quart of
skimmed milk or use half and half. Let soup sit and simmer
gently for about 30 minutes or until really hot, do not
boil, as milk will curdle.
- When
you ladle into large soup bowls, add chopped fresh onion
to the top.
- Serve
with hot crusty bread, delicious on a cold day.
