POTATO SOUP
One of my go-to soup recipes and a reader favorite! It's such a creamy, hearty, comforting soup. While the toppings (cheddar, bacon, and green onions) are optional I highly recommend them for that loaded baked potato style flavor!

Steps:
- Combine diced potatoes, carrots, celery and onions with chicken broth in a large pot and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat (it will take about 10 minutes to reach a boil).
- Once it reaches a boil reduce heat to medium and continue to cook about 15 - 20 minutes longer until potatoes are very soft when pierced with a fork.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan melt butter over medium heat, add flour and cook for 1 minute while whisking constantly. While whisking, slowly add milk and cook, stirring constantly until mixture begins thicken.
- Once potatoes are soft add thickened milk mixture to potato soup mixture and stir (potatoes should start breaking down into soup).
- Add sour cream and mix well.
- Ladle soup into serving bowls, top each serving with bacon or ham, cheddar cheese and green onions.

CREAM OF BROWNED POTATO AND OATMEAL SOUP
This recipe came about this morning when I messed up in making the morning oatmeal and it was not good enough to eat, and was too much to waste. (The oatmeal was gloppy, and we like it flaky). We always mix a couple of tablespoons of flax seed in with our oatmeal. If it had been bread-baking day, I would have hidden it in the bread. This recipe is mine: I made it up.

Steps:
- Remember, oatmeal is a grain, and like barley, makes a good soup ingredient.
- I am a "dump cook" (I seldom measure, especially for soups) so these are approximates. Soups are not an exact science necessarily, so just use good sense (i.e. if you need more water, add it, if you like more potatoes, add them).
- Brown the potatoes and onion together in the oil, like you are making hash browns (I use a cast iron skillet).
- Place the browned potatoes and onions in a large soup pot, cover with ample water (about two inches above the potato mixture. Set to boil. While the soup is heating up, mix in the cooked oatmeal (about 2 cups). Make sure to break up any of the globs of oatmeal to make the mixture creamy.
- Over medium heat: Melt the butter in a sauce pan. Using a wire whisk, mix in the flour, then add one cup of milk. Cook and mix until thickened, then add to the soup.
- Let the soup cook on medium-low heat until done, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- You can leave this soup on simmer all day if you like, just add water or milk as it cooks down, to make sure it doesn't scorch.
- Vegan or Lactose-free Variation: Omit the white sauce (the soup is creamy enough without it).
- Variations: If you would like more vegetables, add chopped celery and grated carrots to the mixture when browning the potatoes.
- Garnish each bowl of soup with grated cheese, bacon bits, or chives (optional).
- _______.
- All of my grandchildren, 12, 8, and 6 liked this soup, as did my 31-year old vegan son and his friend, and my 82-year-old father.

Steps:
- To a 4-quart or larger dutch oven or soup pot, add the potatoes, onion, celery, and carrots. Add water to approximately 1/2 inch below the top of the vegetables.
- Set on stove and turn to high.
- Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer until all of the vegetables are soft, stirring occasionally - about 20 minutes.
- Using a potato masher, carefully mash most of the soup (it's going to be hot!), leaving a few chunks for texture.
- Stir in the milk and the parsley. Add 1 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Taste and add more salt and pepper if desired. (I usually add about one more teaspoon of salt - potato soup takes a lot of salt! But you may wish to use less. Or more!)
- Serve. The soup will thicken as it cools.
- To store, refrigerate in an airtight container. Reheat in soup pot. If the soup is very thick upon reheating, it can be thinned out with some water.
