Potato Soup for Two – Simple – Easy – Quick – Delicious – Start to Finish – Forty-five Minutes –

Turn a potato into potato soup in forty-five minutes:

1) Chop a small onion, a few stalks of celery, and one peeled potato. 

2) Saute the onion and celery in a combination of butter and olive oil.

3) Add the cut-up potato to the skillet and cook a few minutes longer.

4) Cover with chicken stock or chicken broth. (I used the chicken drippings from my baked chicken and the broth formed by cooking chicken breasts in boiling water.)

5) Add salt and pepper. (I used white pepper.)

6) Bring to a boil and simmer open about 5 minutes.

7) Cover and simmer until the potatoes are tender.

8) Optional: Add chopped parsley.
9) Optional: Cool and pour into a blender; blend only a little.
10) Optional: Add a little cream, milk, or both. Stir and serve!
