Potato Soup

Potato Soup, photographed by Julianne Gentile.

I have been craving comfort food all week, so I decided to make potato soup. I guess I did a good job, because both my son and husband hugged me while raving about how good it was. haha :)

Potato Soup
1T olive oil
2T butter
1 small chopped onion
A few cloves chopped garlic (use as many or as few as you like)
4 cups unsalted chicken or vegetable stock
6 medium potatoes
1-cup half-n-half
¼ t poultry seasoning
Your favorite herbs to taste
Salt and pepper to taste

Lightly sauté the chopped onion and garlic in the olive oil and butter in a stock pot
Add vegetable or chicken stock to the pan
Peel, cut, and cube potatoes and add to broth
Simmer for about 20 minutes until potatoes are soft
Lightly mash the potatoes a little in the broth
Add salt, pepper, and your favorite seasonings
The starch from the potatoes should make the soup thick enough, but if it is too thin, add 1T cornstarch to the half-n-half to thicken and slowly add to soup.

Try this and let me know what you think.
