Stagecl Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 My favorite fall and winter soup! Potato-Cheese Soup 4 medium peeled potatoes 2 carrots, peeled 1 onion, chopped 1-2 Tbsp oil or butter 3 C milk 1/2 - 1 C grated sharp cheddar cheese 1 - 2 tsp salt, to taste 1/4 tsp pepper 1 Tbsp chopped parsley Cook the potatoes and carrots in water to cover in a large pan until soft. Saute the onion in the oil or butter. In a blender puree, in batches the potatoes, carrots and onion with potato water (you probably will not use all the water. I puree it so the potatoes are thick) Return puree to pan and add milk, cheese, and seasonings. If the mixture is too thick add more of the potato water. Heat until cheese is melted and soup is piping hot. DO NOT BOIL soup. Makes 8 to 10 cups Enjoy! Cheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnHenry Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I stopped peeling potatoes (and carrots) years ago when I learned in a nutrition class that most of the nutrients in potatoes are located next to the skin. The next time you bake a potato, cut it in half and notice the white ring near the peel. That is where most of the nutrients are located, and therefore removed by peeling. The rest of the potato is just there to hold those nutrients in place! Ditto for the carrots. Just wash and scrub with a good brush for all. Thanks for the recipe. I'll try it soon.

jmyhogan Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Sounds great to me. I will make it soon (with some Garlic added) Thanks for the recipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagecl Posted September 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Jim, Garlic would be a great addition. Also, I think to use a smokey cheddar cheese would be good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmyhogan Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Smokey Cheddar....... This just gets better and better:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 OK I am printing this out today and making it for supper tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattyJo Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Cheryl - Thanks for this receipe. DH is not eating very much at this point, mostly soups and this really was a hit with him. He can't eat much that has any spice to it at all, so I cut back on the onion. He loved it. I froze the rest of it in a muffin tin, so I can thaw out just what he can eat. I'm going to make it again, but the next time I'll make it for me. Add some smokey cheese, lots of onion, probably won't puree it and maybe even add some bacon or clams. Thanks for posting it. And DH thanks you too.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagecl Posted September 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Glad your DH loved the soup:) Maybe you can make a full recipe, saute the onion and put half the onion in, blend up the soup, split out a portion for your DH and then finish spicing up the rest for you:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Cheryl, I made this last night for supper. I also baked up some home made french bread, and baked a few heads of garlic to spread on it. Plus a bottle of wine (of course!) All I can say is: "Yumma Yumma for the Tumma!"

Stagecl Posted September 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Shana, I think I need to come to your place to have some homemade french bread...yum. The wine would be great too and a fire in the fireplace. Glad you enjoyed to soup. Cheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skrat Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Ok, Shana, When do you find the time to do homemade baking? I used to, but now I'd rather be......."GONE QUILTING". Sounds wonderful though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 LOL! I use my bread machine to knead the dough, then I put it in my ceramic stone baker to rise and then toss it in the hot oven. In 45 minutes I have bread. Not a big deal. Easy!
