A recipe....

When winter weather greeted us this week, I knew it was time for a pot of soup.  The first that crossed my mind was Potato Soup!

Sure enough, I discovered I had all the needed ingredients!

I melted 1/4 cup of butter in a pot.

Next, I added 1/4 cup of flour, stirring it until it bubbled slightly, about a minute or so.

Then came the addition of 4 cups of milk....

....along with 2 cups of diced potatoes and 1/2 cup diced onion.

Do you ever use Himalayan Pink Salt?  This is what I chose for that soup.  The peppercorns are available at the market packaged in a grinder, just in case your pepper mill is not functional.

Add the desired amount of salt and pepper to the soup, and bring it to a boil, cooking and stirring until the soup has thickened a bit and the potatoes are done.  (I use a cake tester to check the cubes of potato).

Is it soup yet??

You'd better believe it! Garnish with a little shredded cheese and bacon bits, if desired.  Sour cream could also be added.  Served here with a Corn Bread Stick. Thank you, Bisquick!
