This would be something like that....except for POTATOES! Which, for me, are like bacon. ALWAYS good.

Actually, it's just a slight modification of my mother's potato soup recipe.<br />Ingredients (for two)<br />two stalks of celery split in two and chopped<br />medium onion chopped<br />3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced into about 3/4inch chunks<br />1 Cup milk<br />butter (much preferred over margerine)<br />salt and pepper to taste.<br />1 can of Campbell's cheddar cheese soup, OR<br />shredded cheddar cheese<br /><br />Put the potatoes, milk, 2 Tbsp butter, and enough water to cover the potatoes in 3 qt sauce pan and put on medium heat. cover.<br />In a medium skillet, melt 2 Tbsp butter, then add the celery and onion. Sautee until the onion is tender and translucent. Add to the soup in the saucepan.<br />Add the can of cheddar cheese soup or add grated cheddar into the sauce pan to thicken the liquid slightly. Add salt and pepper to taste, and let simmer until the potatoes are tender.<br /><br />The soup is delicious, and contains enough fat and cholesterol from the butter and cheese to cause Mayor Bloomturd to have a heart attack. So, ENJOY!!!Ogrrrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10367747403389258422noreply@blogger.com
