My Grandpa Jimmy is here for a visit; he is from Texas and we don’t get to see him very often so it is always special when he comes for a visit. Last night I had everyone over for potato soup. I always enjoy having family over, after diner we sat around and talked, played and of course I had to go and get Roxie to show everyone.

If you are looking for a great fall/winter recipe, this is it! This recipe is one of my favorites. It always seem to be crowd pleaser, when I make it for a group, it is even better when you serve it with bread bowls YUMMY!

Potato Soup

1cup celery (chopped small)
1cup carrots (chopped small)
1 cup onions (chopped small)
4-6 Tbsp butter separated
2 cans chicken broth
1 cup milk
2 Cups peeled and cubed potatoes
Dash of garlic seasoning, salt, pepper basil and parsley
1 Can Campbell’s cheddar cheese soup
2-3 Tbsp flour
1 cup sour cream

Saute approximately 1 cup of each celery, carrots and onions with 2-3 Tbsp butter. Add 2 cans of chicken broth and 1 cup of milk bring to a boil. Add 2 cups potato’s (I usually add more) peeled and cubed. Add a dash of garlic seasoning, salt and pepper, basil and parsley to taste. Boil for about 15-20 min until potatoes are tender. Add 1 can cheddar cheese soup. In a small sauce pan melt 2 Tbsp butter and 2-3 Tbsp flour to form a creamy mixture (not pasty, if it is pasty add more butter) add to large saucepan, add sour cream and simmer for 10mins.
