It's Soup Weather!

I love making soup. It's so easy and rewarding and a great way to use up any leftovers you may have laying around. While S was busy organizing his workshop I decided to surprise him with a pot of yummy soup.

I normally don't use a recipe per se but this is more or less the potato soup I usually make. After a quick walk over to my neighbor's huge rosemary bush I was ready to get started! The only thing that would have made it better was some of J's sourdough bread! I think I'll make that very soon!

Potato Soup:

• 2-4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 2 cups water
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1/4 cup butter, cubed
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 1/2 cups milk

DIRECTIONS

1. Place potatoes and water in a large saucepan; cook over medium heat until tender. Meanwhile, in another saucepan, saute onion butter until tender. Stir in the flour, salt, thyme, rosemary, and pepper. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add potatoes with cooking liquid; heat through.
