Saute (in butter or oil):
leek(s), chopped;
green onions, chopped ;
carrot, thinly sliced;
peppers, diced;
celery seed (or diced celery)
Cut up potatoes (as many as you want!) and boil til nearly tender and drain
Put milk in a kettle (I used 1 1/2 liters); add salt and pepper to taste and add a couple cups water and either chicken stock or a chicken bouillion cube
Add potatoes and sauteed veggies
Simmer (careful about scorching!) until potatoes are fully cooked
Chill soup and puree
Now for the really good part!
Grate blue cheese, as much as you like- I used 300 grams in this quantity of liquid, which gave the soup a mild taste; more is even yummier! **Make sure cheese is cold or it will smear
Reheat soup on med flame, careful not to scorch; when it's good and hot, add the cheese, stirring constantly until cheese is melted

HI Anita,
ReplyDeleteThanks for adding us, and I love it. I figured it out, so disregard the email. Sonia
Interesting how they're going on about Truder's CA driving under your post about soup.?! They'll have to take my College blogging class sometime!
ReplyDeleteThe soup idea is making me hungry, though. Keep your hands on the plow!
Good to hear of your doings!! Neat site. love, Karla
ReplyDeleteGREAT to hear from you...I can kind of picture it all. What a great idea to blog. I would do it but I likely would be as good at that as I am at all other letter writing!! I woke up today at 9:30 after our busy days. Kim comes tomorrow...yeah
ReplyDeleteGreat!! We'll try to keep in touch, and check in ocassionally.
ReplyDeleteKen and Jane Hettich
well, this 'launch' was fun! thanks to all of you for popping in...and don't stop!
ReplyDeleteLet's see, Questions:
dr Payne (because that's how it hit me at first! you're laughing, I know!) No, I don't think T has a blog yet- she's really busy trying to escape microsoft right now- looking into ubunto (linux) is taking any free time she has;
Duane- yeah, blogging 101- not a bad idea for me, too
It's really great to see you all here!
