Potato Soup

Yup. a clear potato soup like my Mama used to make when the cupboard got a little bare. Goes great with cheese sandwiches, cold or grilled.

Potato Soup

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 large white onion, diced finely

2 stalks celery, diced finely

3 14.5-ounce cans chicken broth

2 cups water

3 chicken bouillon cubes

4 large potatoes, cut into large 1/2 inch cubes

2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes

1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and black pepper

Garnish: Chopped green onions

In a soup pot, heat oil until hot over medium heat; cook onion and celery until onion is translucent. Add chicken broth, water, bouillon cubes and potatoes. Bring pot to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer and cook, covered, until potatoes are just tender, about 15 minutes. Add parsley and thyme and cook five more minutes. Correct seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve in warm bowls with a sandwich. Garnish soup with chopped green onions if you like.
