Potato soup potetsuppe

In these LCHF times, I thought I would offer this brilliant HCHF alternative. Simple to make and great for cold days:

You will need:

1,5 to 2 kgs mealy potatoes such as russet or Idaho, or the Norwegian pimpernel or mandel.

Two bundles of spring onions

One head of celery

One carton (3 dl) of heavy cream

3 dl milk or to taste

Butter for frying

Salt and pepper 

--------

Peel and dice the potatoes. Boil in salted water until they are tender.

Chop the celery and spring onions according to your preference.  Fry in a skillet with butter, salt and pepper, until they are tender.

Drain the water and mash the potatoes. Add the fried celery and spring onions.

Add the cream and milk until you have the desired thickness.


Extra salt and pepper to taste.  

(Added crispy bacon bits make a delicious variation…)
