ADVICE FOR POTATO SOUP

This is the basic recipe, it's quick and very easy to prepare. When you get bored with it, simply add a few of your favourite ingredients. Chopped ham goes very well as does bacon and most other vegetables and meats.

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1

Put the butter into a frying pan on a medium low heat and let it melt and start to bubble.

Put the potatoes and onions into the frying pan, turn the heat to low. Mix the potatoes, onions and butter well, and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes stirring twice.

STEP 2

Pour the potatoes, onions and butter into a large pan, add the stock and herbs.

Cook on a medium heat for 20 to 25 minutes stirring occasionally. The soup is cooked when the potatoes are soft enough to make mashed potatoes.

If you have a blender or food processor then use it to puree the soup. Reheat the soup after pureeing it.

Alternatively use a potato masher. Serve with croutons or a bread roll.
