Cream of Potato Soup By: Darla R.

Recipe Story

I got the basic cream base recipe from my sister-in-law one day when I visited, and she was making cream of crab soup. This is the same recipe without the celery, onions, and potatoes, but with 2 tablespoons of Old Bay seasoning and 1 pound of crab meat added. My son David, who has cystic fibrosis, loved her cream of crab soup, so I got the idea of using this basic cream-based recipe to make many variations. The cream of potato soup is his favorite. For broccoli cheese soup, add 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese, 1 cup of grated American cheese and broccoli. For clam chowder, use clam juice to replace the chicken stock, add 5 large potatoes (diced) and 2 cans of clams. Use your imagination and create your CFer’s favorite. Thanks Aunt Karen!

Ingredients

  • 1 stick(s) butter or margarine
  • 10 Tbsp flour
  • 32 oz chicken stock
  • 1 qt half and half
  • 1 c celery, chopped
  • 1 c onion, chopped
  • 5 large russet potatoes, diced to bite size pieces
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Add All Ingredients

Directions

  1. Melt butter on medium heat in a soup pot.

  2. Add celery and onions. Cook about 5 minutes until vegetables are tender.

  3. Add flour and let cook about 2 minutes, stirring often.

  4. Add chicken stock and stir to combine.

  5. Once chicken stock is hot and flour is well incorporated, cook for about 5 minutes stirring constantly. Mixture gets about the consistency of pudding.

  6. Add half and half. Stir constantly until mixture is hot, well incorporated, and thick.

  7. Lower heat to low.
