Here’s an easy vegetarian potato soup. It’s delicious and pretty easy to make…besides, anything with Tabasco is worth a try.

Ingredients:

• 2 Cups potatoes, diced but unpeeled
• 1/4 lb butter
• 2 Cups finely diced yellow onions
• 1/2 Cup flour
• 1 quart warm water
• 1/4 Cup vegetable broth
• 1 Cup potato flakes
• 2 Cups heavy cream
• 2 Cups milk
• 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco
• Salt, pepper, garlic powder and dried basil to taste

Directions:

Saute onions in melted butter for 10 minutes in large kettle. Add flour to onions and butter and cook for four to five minutes, stirring until flour is absorbed. In a separate container, combine water, vegetable broth, potato flakes, and seasonings. Stir until thoroughly mixed and no lumps remain. Add to onion mixture, one pint at a time. Add milk and cream, stirring until smooth and lightly thickened. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. In a separate container, the potatoes should be covered with water, brought to a boil, and simmered for 20 minutes. Combine the potatoes with the soup to  complete.
