Nana's Potato Soup


There is always a cookbook I grab when I am needing a home cooked meal that reminds me of home.  I have made the potato soup enough times to memorize the recipe, but I like having the cookbook with me.  




Potato Soup, Easy Soup Recipe


There are plenty of times when I want to make this soup, and I realize I am out of sour cream.  I try to keep sour cream on hand, all the time just in case of a craving for potato soup.  



Peel and chop potatoes, carrots, dice celery and onions and add to boiling water. 


Cook all vegetables until tender.  Add one cup of milk, and heat. Use a separate bowl to blend sour cream and chives with 1 teaspoon of flour, add one cup of milk. Add to the soup and cook until thick.  We also love to add grated cheese and Velveeta to the soup! Delicious!
