Nate’s Mom’s Potato Soup

Click image above for a better view.

As Nate himself said, this soup is so great that you’d really like it. It’s GREAT, GREAT, GREAT. We also think it’s easy, easy, easy.

4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
1 medium white onion, diced
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
2 large carrots, finely diced
1 16 oz. can chicken stock (or 2 cups water mixed with 2 tsp. chicken soup base)
1 Cup water
2 Cups milk
1 Cup diced ham
1 tsp. dill weed

Place the vegetables into a deep saucepan and add the stock and water. Simmer until the potatoes are soft—about 30 minutes. Puree the vegetables in a blender or food processor, then add the milk, ham and dill weed. Reheat gently on low but do not boil. Add more milk if the soup is a little thick.
Serves: 6-8. Prep. time: 10 minutes. Cooking time: 45 minutes.

Note: Nate’s Mom used a combo of skim milk and fat free half and half. We used all 2% milk and were very happy with the results.
