Last night, Ray made Potato Soup for us. He made it mostly from scratch, but he did add a couple cans of Campbell's Potato Soup to it. It was very good, but not the homemade soup I'd expected him to make.
After he quizzed me on how he got it so thick (I had to guess because he wouldn't tell me), he asked me how I'd make it. Here's the recipe I'd use:
boiling potatoes, peeled, roughly diced
onion, diced
broccoli florets
flour
butter
milk
chicken broth
salt and pepper, to taste
Boil the potatoes and broccoli, drain, reserve some of the potatoes to the side. Sautee the onion. Make a roux with equal parts flour and butter, add the milk. Add the most of the potatoes, broccoli, onions, and chicken broth to the milk mixture. Puree the milk mixture with a stick blender. Add the reserved potatoes and stir them into the soup. Bring soup back to a high simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Serve. Optional: garnish with crumbled bacon and grated cheese.
