Old-Fashioned Potato Soup
SUBMITTED BY: Cyd Lmbros


"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."

PREP TIME 15 Min
COOK TIME 25 Min
READY IN 40 Min

INGREDIENTS
2-1/4 cups margarine
9 large onion
54 potatoes, peeled and diced
18 carrots, diced
27 cups water
1 cup and 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon powder
ground black pepper to taste
1-2/3 cups all-purpose flour
27 cups milk
1/2 cup and 1 tablespoon dried parsley
2-1/4 teaspoons dried thyme
DIRECTIONS
In a large stock pot melt the butter add the onions and cook over medium heat until the onions are translucent.
While the onions are cooking, place the diced potatoes, carrots, water and chicken soup base in another stock pot and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Do not over cook. Season with ground black pepper to taste.
Add the flour to the cooked onions to make a paste. 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.

Answer 7

use beef soup paste with hot or boiled water and ground beef.then you add diced (cubed) potatoes-no potatoe skins.


another idea is instead of soup is mush which is gound beef(mostly) with diced (cubed) potatoes and diced tomatoes.

Answer 8

They both are Perfect for your health. If you eat both, you're better off. But yea, I'd personally choose fruits because they taste better.

Answer 9

It is determined by the fruit or veggie associated with a comparison. In the event you compare a farreneheit to a carrot, the carrot is the better of the two nutritional. But since you compare an avocado to the carrot, then your avocado is better. The two the apple and avocado, are fruits.
