Ruthie's Potato Soup

It was a frigid one last weekend. 

Unfortunately/fortunately we got mostly rain on Saturday, which then turned to snow Saturday night and we ended up with about 8 inches by the time we woke up. 

We spent the morning shoveling snow at our house, some neighbors and at my parents and their neighbors. 

When we got home a few hours later I was ready for a nice bowl of soup. 

I had been going through recipes and found this one of our dear family friend. 

My grandma Beabout never really wrote down her soup recipes, so I was excited to find this one. 

I grabbed the potatoes and quickly got to work. 

What You'll Need:

2 TBSP. Butter

6 Large Potatoes-Diced

2 Med Onions-Chopped

3 Stalks Celery-Diced

1/2 Tsp. Salt

Pepper to taste

2 Cups Chicken Broth

1 Cup Milk

2 Cups Cheese (Velveeta)

In a saucepan, melt the butter.

Add in the diced potatoes, onions and celery. 

Add your desired salt and pepper. 

Saute 5 minutes. Stir often. 

Add 2 Cups of Chicken Broth.

Cover and simmer until vegetables are tender. 

Stir in 1 C. milk. 

Add 2 C. cheese. 

Heat until cheese is melted.

*You can opt to use half and half instead of milk. 

In addition, we didn't have any onions, so I didn't use any. 

This is a great lunch for a snowy, chilly day!

Enjoy!
