Once-a-year Potato Soup

June 30, 2009

I’m not advocating this as the best thing you should eat, but I had to use up a bag of potatoes before my frig turned into a potato patch.  Normally I wouldn’t post this recipe but I made it up as I was going and it turned out to be very tasty. 

• 4 -6 Red potatoes, quartered
• 1/2 onion sliced thinly
• 2 cloves of garlic, smashed
• 1 stalk celery, chopped
• 1/2 can chopped green chilies
• 2 Cups broth
• 2-4 cups water
• 1/4 no-fat sour cream
• 1-1/2 tsp salt
• pepper to taste
• 1 box sliced mushrooms

Saute onion, garlic, celery, chilies, and potatoes until onion is soft.  Add broth and water to desired amount.  Cook 20 minutes, until potatoes are tender.  Puree in blender.

Return to pot, add sour cream, seasonings and sliced mushrooms.  Cook until mushrooms are ready then serve with soup crackers and/or bacon bits.
