Description

A warm and comforting potato soup with carrots and seasonings, perfect for chilly days.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 0.25 cup butter
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 6 potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 3 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon powder
  • Ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 0.25 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Gather the ingredients.
  2. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in onion; cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. While onions are cooking, place diced potatoes, carrots, water, and chicken bouillon in another pot and bring to a boil. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Do not overcook. Season with ground black pepper to taste.
  4. Add flour to cooked onions to make a paste. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Gradually add milk and stir well. Cook over low heat stirring constantly until warmed through.
  5. Add potato and carrot mixture. Stir in parsley and thyme and heat through. Serve hot.

Notes

Use starchy potatoes like Russet for a creamier texture. Adjust seasonings to taste.
