Herbed Potato Soup (Amazing) image

I found this recipe either on this site (and it's disappeared) or another that I don't remember. I had this recipe memorized last winter! Although, over summer, I forgot, so I came looking for it on here recently. Since I found my written copy and since I don't see it here anymore, I am going to share it with you! What's great about this recipe is what you can do with it. I love to add chicken or cauliflower or broccoli or cheese to it at the end. (Requires an extra step!)

Time 30m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
2 cups water
1 large onion, chopped
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed (optional)
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1 1/2 cups milk
1 chicken breast, cut and cooked
1/2 head cauliflower or 1/4 head cauliflower, cut into florets
1/2 head broccoli or 1/4 head broccoli, cut into florets
1/2 cup cheese (more or less)

Steps:

  • Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan.
  • Add potatoes, cook over medium heat until tender. (Note: sometimes I add the cauliflower or chicken to the potatoes while they cook. You don't have to, but it's convenient.) Set aside. DO NOT DRAIN!
  • Meanwhile, in another saucepan, saute onion in the butter until tender. Onions will have a sweet smell and will look glazed over.
  • Stir in the flour, salt, thyme, rosemary (optional), and pepper.
  • Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil. If you like, add the cheese.
  • Cook and stir for 2 minutes.
  • Add potatoes (and extra, optional ingredients) with cooking liquid. Heat through.
