Posted By: EmmyJay


Recipe Introduction


Without having to bake the potatoes! Ready in about 30 minutes.


List of Ingredients




3 T butter
1-1/2 C thinly sliced onion
2 T flour
2 C chicken broth
1 lb baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 dice (or leave the skins on, if you want)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper
1/4 tsp Tabasco
1/2 tsp garlic powder ( or 2 cloves fresh pressed garlic)
1 C lowfat milk (or something richer, if you dare)

Recipe



Melt the butter and saute the onions until brown bits begin to appear. Add the garlic and saute a few minutes more. It is okay if a little of the onion gets dark brown, but not the garlic. Add the flour, stir for about 3 minutes to make a roux. Slowly pour in the broth. Add the potatoes and all seasonings. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Stir in the milk and simmer 5 minutes. Serve topped with grated cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, sour cream, and bacon bits.
