Potato Soup

I love making soups, especially in the fall. I can only think of one soup that I really don't care for, split pea, and my absolute favorite is cabbage. Tonight I played around with my standard potato soup recipe, and I think it turned out pretty well. The spice measurements are purely guesstimates here. Usually when I'm making something I end up adding things and I always forget to measure, so take it for what it's worth, and play around to suit your tastes.


1 medium onion, diced
1/4 cup butter, divided
5-6 large potatoes, cubed
3 cups chicken broth
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp dill (dried)
2 tsp pepper
1 tsp parsley
1tsp celery seed
1/3 cup flour
3 1/2 cups milk, divided

In large pot, sauté onion in 2 tbsp butter until soft. Add chicken broth, salt, dill, pepper, parsley and potatoes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover, simmering until potatoes are tender. Mix 1/2 cup milk and flour in small bowl and add to potatoes, stirring constantly until combined. Add remaining milk and heat through.
