Ingredients:
3 large potatoes |
1 pint(s) water |
1 bay leaf |
1 small onion sliced |
1 pint(s) milk |
1 tablespoon(s) butter |
2 tablespoon(s) flour |
salt and pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. Place potatoes in a medium saucepan; cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes; drain. Combine potato, water, bay leaf, onion and celery. Bring mixture to a boil, and then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cover and simmer 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Pass the soup through a sieve.
2. Heat milk over a double boiler. Blend butter and flour and add to hot milk; stir until smooth and thick. Slowly stir in the potato mixture, and season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
3. Aunt Bess advised heating quickly over a quick fire and serving at once. “Long standing spoils the soup,” she noted.
