The first time my friend Teri invited us to her house back in our Ft. Knox, Kentucky days she made this potato soup for us. I knew from the first bite that Teri and I would be friends forever. Teri and I have been through a lot together, and I look forward to being her neighbor again in the near future.
Teri did not give me exact measurements on this, and normally I don't measure when making this soup either, but I did try to pay attention so I could give you approximate measurements.....
Potato Soup
5 pound bag of potatoes, peeled and dice
small bag of baby carrots, chopped fine
small onion, dice
3 celery stalks chopped fine
3 quarts chicken broth (I use chicken base - you can find it by the chicken bullion cubes)
1 cup heavy cream
1TBL butter
2 TBL flour
