Monday Nights Menu

Cold and snowy today. How 'bout soup. I like more stewy soups or like Rachael Ray says Stewp.

Tonight we had Potato Broccoli Stewp. That just sounds gross. Won't use that again. Anyway, bowl of hot soup and Mom's Breadmaker Rolls. Mmmmmm. Need I say more.

Potato Broccoli Soup

1 onion chopped

1 clove garlic

4T butter

1/2C flour

2 Cups peeled and diced potatoes

1 large carrot diced or chopped with the "chopper"

2 celery stalks diced

4C chicken broth

4C milk

Saute onion, celery,garlic, and carrots in butter, or oil or PAM

add 1/2 C flour and stir together

Add chicken broth and simmer until thickened

Add potatoes and milk

Bring to boil on med. heat for about 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

Don't add seasonings until the end. I learned from Wolfgang Puck that soups can reduce and become too salty.

I added 2T chicken bouillon and some garlic salt, S&P to taste.
Sprinkle each bowl of soup with cheddar cheese

Breadmaker Rolls

1C milk

2T butter

1 egg

31/4 C flour
