Simple Potato Soup

Products (Onion, Potato, Stock, Real milk, Butter)

Ingredients:

• 3 1/2 cups peeled and diced potatoes

• 1/3 cup finely chopped onion

• 3 1/4 cups water

• 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules

• 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

• 1 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste

• 5 tablespoons butter

• 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour

• 2 cups milk

​

Directions:

1. Combine the potatoes, onion, and water in a stockpot. Bring to a boil, then cook over medium heat until potatoes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the chicken bouillon, salt, and pepper.

2. In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour with a fork, and cook, stirring constantly until thick, about 1 minute. Slowly stir in milk as not to allow lumps to form until all of the milk has been added. Continue stirring over medium-low heat until thick, 4 to 5 minutes.

3. Stir the milk mixture into the stockpot, and cook soup until heated through. Serve immediately.
