4-6 potatoes, diced
1 large onion chopped fine
1 can evaporated milk
couple of dashes of celery seed or 1 stalk of celery chopped fine
salt
pepper
2 tablespoons margarine
instant potato flakes


Boil potatoes in water until almost done. Add celery seed or chopped celery and onion and simmer for about 3-5 minutes. Add margarine and evaporated milk to the potato water. Add salt and pepper to taste. If you’d like thicker soup, add instant potatoes a couple of tablespoons at a time until it’s as think as you want it.

*You can add finely shredded carrots at the time you add the celery and onion for more
color.
*A sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese is good on top of the individual bowls of soup
*A light sprinkle of paprika or dried parsley in the individual bowls of soup makes it more attractive.
