{Potato soup}

Here in AZ, it is very rarely cold enough to feel ok about eating soup for dinner.

The last few days though, it has been rather chilly! {& i am loving it!!} So, last night for dinner, we made Potato soup :) Here is our recipe! 

{Potato soup}

You will need:

2/3C Chopped onions

1/4C finely diced celery

2T butter

{We usually use butter, but all i had was margerine!!} 

2T flour

3C Shredded potatoes

3 1/2C Chicken broth

1/2C sour cream

4 oz. cream cheese

2/3C cooked, diced ham

3/4t Dill weed

salt 

Pepper

Start by shredding your potatoes. Do this using a hand grater.

Pour your shredded potatoes along with your chicken broth into a large pot on your stove.

 Bring mixture to a boil.

While potatoes & broth are on the stove, Prep your 2/3C onions, 1/4C celery & 2/3C ham.

Place prepared onion, celery, ham & butter in a frying pan..

Begin to cook your veggies & ham, then add your 3/4t Dill weed.

Continute to cook veggies & ham until veggies become tender.

While veggies are cooking, place your 1/2C sourcream & 4 oz. cream cheese into a microwave safe bowl & melt in the microwave. Put to the side until needed. 

Once your veggies are nice & tender, add you 2T flour.

Back to your potatoe & broth mixture, check the texture of your potatoes. You want them to be soft but NOT mushy. Once potatoes are the right consistancy, add your veggie & ham mixture. 

{If mixture is too thick, add a few splashes of milk}

After adding your veggie mixture, add your melted Sourcream & Cream cheese mixture.

Allow to simmer so that the flavors can all mix together well. 

Add salt & pepper to taste. 

Serve with some yummy bread :)

Enjoy!
