Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

7 - 9 c water
6-8 medium potatoes, new red
1/4 medium sweet onion, diced
3 medium carrots, sliced thin or julienned
3-4 medium celery ribs, sliced thin
2 tsp nature's seasonings
1 1/2- 2 c whole milk
4 - 5 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp coffee creamer powder (optional)
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

1. Prep all your veggies by slicing and dicing.
2. After peeling and slicing your potatoes rinse them off well in a colander to get off any excess starch that you can.
3. Fill your cooking pot with at least 7 cups of water and then add all your veggies.
4. Place on the stove over medium heat and add your Nature Seasonings. Stir the veggies in the pot and then cover and cook for 20 minutes.
5. After 20 minutes you'll want to scoop out some veggies and see if they are done. If not, cook covered for just 10 minutes longer. You don't want to over cook as your potatoes will fall apart. Turn down your heat, add your butter and 1 cup of milk, salt & pepper. Taste, see what you think. If it looks like watered down milk, add another 1/2- 1 cup of milk. This is a truly simple soup; nothing fancy. It's just plain veggies in a very healthy broth. Go by your taste and how you want it. Now, you'll also add in the creamer at this point to give more texture if you want.
