Delicious Potato Soup

 I made this in my Home Ec class.

2 T butter

1 small onion diced

2 – 3 T flour

4 C chicken broth (4 C water with 1 T chicken bouillon)

2 Potatoes peeled and cubed

1/4 C heavy cream 

1 tsp. freshly squeezed lemon

Salt and pepper to taste

1.    In a frying pan heat butter; sauté onions (about 5 minutes).  When onions are translucent add flour and cook stirring constantly for about 1 to two minutes.  Set aside.

2.   Meanwhile in a large pot put potatoes in broth.  Bring to a boil, cover then simmer until soft (about 10-15 minutes)

3.   Add flour mixture to potato mixture stirring constantly until slightly thickened.  Add lemon juice and heavy cream.  Add salt and pepper to taste.
