Potato Soup

This is a recipe I got from a former assistant of mine, Elone. I haven't made it in years because I seldom eat potatoes, but it is an excellent recipe. I am also careful of the amount of sodium I eat, and the soup mix has more than enough!

4 cups peeled & cubed potatoes
1 cup diced celery
1 quart chicken broth
1 cup water
1 package Home Style Vegetable Soup (Mrs. Grass) (check out the sodium in this!)
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
2 to 3 cups milk
8 ounces Velveeta cheese or grated cheddar cheese

In a kettle, combine the vegetables and broth. Cook to boiling, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

In a separate pan, melt the butter. Blend the flour, some salt and pepper and milk. Cook until it thickens, stirring constantly. Add this to the potato mixture. Heat to a slight boil.

When serving, garnish with cheese and parsley.

Optional--add brocolli and shredded carrots to the vegetables.

Yogurt

Equipment

1 large heat proof bowl
measuring cups, spoons
jars to store yogurt in
oven

3 cups instant powdered milk
1/2 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
1 Tablespoon sugar or honey
1 large can evaporated milk
3 Tablespoons yogurt
water

Add 1 cup boiling water to softened gelatin. Add sweetener (It takes the edge off) and let the mixture cool a bit.

Preheat oven to about 275 degrees.

Mix 3 cups powdered milk with 3 cups water. Add 1 large can evaporated milk, 2 more cups tepid water and the gelatin mixture. Add yogurt and stir thoroughly. Cover bowl, put in oven and TURN THE OVEN OFF. Leave overnight or 8 to 10 hours. Makes 2 quarts and is foolproof.
