Old-Fashioned Potato Soup image

This soup is closest to the soup I remember as child. I have seen many renditions of it surface in several bistros. It is easy and the method can be applied to broccoli or cauliflower.

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

¼ cup butter
1 large onion, chopped
6 potatoes, peeled and diced
2 carrots, diced
3 cups water
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon powder
ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
1 tablespoon dried parsley
¼ teaspoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • While the onions are cooking, place the diced potatoes, carrots, water and chicken soup base (or vegetable base; see Cook's Note) in another pot and bring to a boil. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Do not overcook. Season with ground black pepper to taste.
  • Add the flour to the cooked onions to make a paste. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Gradually add the milk and stir well. Cook over low heat stirring constantly until warmed through. Add the potato and carrot mixture. Stir in the parsley and thyme and heat through. Serve hot.

This soup was okay. It wasn't as flavorful as I was hoping for. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I was so excited to try this soup but it was a bit of a disappointment. The flavor was bland and it was too thick. I ended up adding some additional spices and broth to make it more palatable.

I loved this soup! It was so creamy and flavorful. I added a little bit of shredded cheddar cheese on top and it was perfect.

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.
